Question on 1999 D-1 Pins...
Posted: Thu Dec 09, 2021 12:35 am
I bought my 1999 Collings D-1 new at Gryphon that year. It came with a slotted bridge and slotted sting pins. The pin slots were positioned with the slots pointing toward the bridge slots.
Does that make sense? I always thought if you had a slotted bridge you should use pins that were not slotted. Or... at least turn the slotted pins around so the slot faced towards the rear of the guitar.
Was it normal for Collings to slot their bridge and pins back in 1999? Is it the same way in 2021? Should I get some new pins that aren't slotted?
Thanks for filling me in on this.
