Members Dr. Porkchop Posted February 19, 2009 Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi. Does anyone know of a pinless bridge that can attach to a normal bridge by either bolting it on through the pin holes or by pins? I would like to use a string through bridge on a normal acoustic. Does this exist and if not is such a thing possible? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also may need to reinforce the bridge plate area inside the guitar, but I'm not sure about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jd-drafter Posted February 19, 2009 Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 aren't there some bridge pins that allow you to put the pin through the top of the pin rather than through the bridge? i thought some one posted something like that recently... and i don't know why that would not work... but it would definitely kill the break angle...

Carrico EZ brass pins are sort of like that. The string goes through a hole near the top of the pin, but still below the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarcapo Posted February 19, 2009 Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have seen bridges that could be strung both ways.....basically they had the 6 holes for pins...but you could remove the pins and run the strings through holes in the back of the bridge instead. I don't know why you'd want both but I've seen them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Krash Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 Just play the damn thing. Butchering a perfectly good guitar is not going to improve your playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Melodeous Posted February 20, 2009 Members Share Posted February 20, 2009 Unless the saddle is relatively higher in contrast to the the holes through the bridge pins I think you'd lose an appreciable amount of break angle. The bridge doctor I put in one guitar (12 string) had the aft six pins substituted with brass pin-screws. They were screws through the original aft six holes and held the device inside the guitar while the heads protruding up from the bridge were cylindrical with holes cross-drilled to pass the strings through. The break angle across the saddle was severely lessened and resulted in a significant loss in sound for the octaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
