Location: Phoenix, AZ | Since this topic has risen again, I have a question. If microscopic wood chips fall into the grooves between the windings on the wound strings, wouldn't guitars makers using pinless bridges have noticed this a long time ago? Assuming Ovation is the most prevalent of these makers, wouldn't someone have noticed this 35 to 40 years ago? I can't imagine this hasn't come up in the past, if it is prevalent and so obvious. Therefore, if this is such a problem, wouldn't Ovation and the other pinless bridge guitar makers apply some sort of finish to the inside of the bridge string holes to prevent the microscopic wood particles from lodging themselves into the string winding grooves? |

Location: Upper Left USA | dmkozak has a valid point.
The difference must be minimal and easily covered by a handful of other subtle design differences and random acts of production. I personaly prefer pinless because it has a neater appearance, such as perfectly aligned and color coded D'addario's.
But with the Pins you have more opportunity to customize and accessorize with fossilized Walrus Tusk and abalone! |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Woodfiber in the string winding is bullshit... at least when it comes to effecting tone (and assuming you take some care not to pull the string through like your starting a mower). The second you put your fingers on the string you deposit skin cells, dirt and oils and wear from frets and picks is what kills string tone... |

Location: Braman, OK | The solution is sooooo simple. Just sand the interior of the string holes, starting with medium-fine grit and working down to very fine sandpaper, then apply a thin layer of carbon nanotube coating... works like a charm! |

does the pinless bridge suck the snap from strings?
