This dialog took an interesting and strange turn, to me at least. I am a multi-instrumentalist, and an occasional dabbler into classical music (but not an...

Lee, Andrew, Ryan, Thank you for the tips. I'm definitely going to try tuning down and then capo-ing back up - should have thought of that myself really. I've...
Hi, I have experimented. At one time I had a pair of Lakewood guitar, 6 & 12 on which I put gold plated brass pins. They made the sound a little brighter, but...
I replaced the stock bridge pins in my old Guild with the brass Tone Pins and noticed a pretty substantial improvement in the brightness and clarity, at least...
Hi Peter, You will almost certainly get a small but noticeable improvement in tone by swapping out your plastic pins with Ebony, or bone. I've never used Tusq...
