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.

Re: KMG pin-less bridge
very nice,
I have a Lowden planned for later this year using your template. That bridge would be nice.

Re: KMG pin-less bridge
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?

Re: KMG pin-less 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.
