KMG pin-less bridge

Post by ken cierp » Thu Feb 20, 2014 6:22 pm

Well here it is -- Lowden-ish for sure and that is the intent, I wanted something that will look correct on the Lowden "O" This one is made of Black Walnut Ovations have pin-less made of this material. I have the single and split saddle versions programmed. Those are Abalone dots between the string slots.

very nice,

I have a Lowden planned for later this year using your template. That bridge would be nice.

Looks good Ken.
I'll ask this even though I"m SURE it has been said before somewhere.

Does a pinless bridge make the guitar sound different then a pinned bridge?

Since in total it add less weight to the sound-board, have a smaller bridge plate, no pins etc. we can certainly expect a different sound -- I guess the listener would have to decide better, worse, or the same. To my ear the Lowden Original has a sound quality I really enjoy.
