We have a nice selection of top-grade bone, brass and horn bridge-pins of varying sizes from John Pearse.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Do the bridge-pins matter?
An empathic 'yes'.
The bridge-pins, along with your saddle and nut are the contact-points between your strings and your guitar. In other words, they are the direct conduit for the string's vibrations to reach your guitar.
In order to maximize the vibrations reaching the body itself, you need good 'conduits'.
Materials such as bone, horn, ivory and ebony have always been favored by musicians who want to bring out the best in their instruments.
Such materials are extremely hard and they provide excellent transference of the string's vibrations to the body.
Cheaper alternatives such as plastic dampens your tone as plastic is relatively soft, and they 'cushion' and absorb a significant amount of the string's vibrations. Naturally, this will adversely affect your guitar's tone.
You can expect added warmth and sparkle, clarity and separation of notes as well as an increase in overall resonance with quality materials such these.
So do your beloved guitar a favor and give it a long-due and well-deserved upgrade!
