What D'Andrea say:
D’Andrea USA’s Tone Pins are machined out of brass and fit almost all brands of six string acoustic guitars. By adding mass to the bridge, tone pins increase the clarity, sustain, and brightness of your overall tone. Various styles as well as inlay options will complement any instrument.
What we say:
If you want one of the best inexpensive upgrades you can possibly do to an acoustic guitar, these D’Andrea Tone Pins in brass are it. Slip them in, tune up, and suddenly your guitar sounds as if it’s woken from a long nap. There’s more sustain, more sparkle, and a satisfying bit of extra punch — all because you’ve replaced those miserable plastic pins with something that actually knows what it’s doing.
They even look fantastic. A bit of tasteful, metallic swagger on the bridge that says, “Yes, I care about tone, but I also enjoy things that are shiny.”
In short: small price, massive improvement. Exactly the sort of upgrade that makes you wonder why every guitar doesn’t come with them in the first place.
