Ti Bridge Pins...

Not on a PRS acoustic, but I have on other guitars. I bought a bunch of different set of pins to see if I could improve the tone of a specific guitar. I figured I would try them all on all of my acoustics.

I liked the ti pins on a Spruce/Rosewood Baritone, but not on anything else. The tone changed on all of the guitars, but I felt the treble became a little brittle. Maybe too fast of an attack? On the Baritone, it was a little smoother (tuned A - a or B - b), so there was no high e string to get brittle.

The weirdest thing for me is that I LOVE the way brass pins sound on a small Cedar/Mahogany parlour! I was blown away that the heaviest pins improved the overall tone, response, and volume of that guitar (they are still on it two or three years later). The brass sucked on everything else.
