But they are especially recommended for high-end professional-level instruments of rich, complex tone, because of how they heighten the definition of both the fundamental notes and harmonic overtones, while also increasing the sustain of both. Don’t just take our word for it. While we were impressed with the looks of these out of the ordinary bridge pins, we were also intrigued by their potential to influence tone in a unique manner. So, we sent a set of these persimmon bridge pins to our favorite set of ears, connected to the discerning mind of Spoon Phillips. Here is the report Spoon sent from his home in Brooklyn, New York:
I will say right up front, that I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoy these solid persimmon bridge pins so very much. I have tried them on multiple guitars with a variety of string types, and I was unprepared for how they would improve the tone of my primary guitar, the 000C-21 TSP MM that I designed for Maury’s Music. So, I regret to inform you that you cannot have them back!
The shaping of these polished bridge pins is symmetrical and finely detailed, and slotted to work with modern bridges. But they can be inserted backwards to work with vintage guitars that have the slots carved into the bridge itself. But frankly, I assumed they would offer a blonde alternative to darker woods used for bridge pins and end pins, like ebony and rosewood, but otherwise would have the same basic woody influence on tone production. Actually, they are as much a counterpart to ebony pins in terms of sound as they are in terms of looks.
Blueridge Acoustic Guitar (br 160)
Rather than taking away high end sheen or thickening the voice of a guitar, as ebony pins do, the persimmon bridge pins I was provided bring out much more detail from the guitar’s tonal pallet and harmonic voice than either ebony pins or plastic pins. My primary guitar is a dark, rich, thick-sounding Guatemalan rosewood/Adirondack spruce 000 made with a short-scale neck, scalloped 1/4 OM bracing, hide glue, and vintage-style thin finish. It is abnormally responsive to nuanced playing. These pins increase the definition in ways I simply have not heard from this instrument before now.
When I play bassy chords just on the wound strings, each note is distinct even when swamped by the smoky Guatemalan undertone. Having grown accustomed to how it sounded before these new pins, I was startled by how much more three-dimensional definition could be heard the lowest register.
But I was most surprised by how high harmonics are promoted with astonishing clarity. For example, strumming an open chord where the G and D string are double-stopped at the 5th or 7th fret (Em11 or E7sus, etc.) they produced high overtones from the unwound strings that have the strength and presence of sounded harmonics (i.e. as if another player had played the b and e strings on another guitar while lightly touching the strings at the 5th or 7th fret, to produce harmonics two octaves above the fundamental.)

I had to go back and see if those harmonic sprites could be heard with other pins. They can, but I never noticed them before. They are just so much more pronounced and defined with these persimmon pins. And there is an increased sense of three-dimensional space and depth across the entire voice, and a noticeable presence of a dry and woody quality that went previously undetected, and which I typically associate with older instruments.
I am assuming these persimmon pins are not adding anything to the sound of my guitar. Rather, they are filtering the tone producing energy from the strings in a way that allows details to emerge that have gone unnoticed or have been hidden by the murky broth down inside its voice, which is an inherent part of the rich rosewood sound.
I tried these pins on other guitars as well, with various types of strings. In each case, I took my time, focusing on the sound from a particular string before changing just that one pin, and then seeing how it compared to the other strings, and how it compared to my memory of how that particular string sounded before the change. And I experimented with dampening the other five strings, or letting various sympathetics ignite and sustain along with the played note. I tried these various tests as I was changing pins and after all six pins had been replaced. The difference made by the persimmon pins was obvious and to a greater extent than I thought possible. The results always included greater volume compared to plastic pins, and increased fundamental sustain (the length of time the main note produced by the played string maintains a full and on-pitch tone, before fading or wavering off-pitch). Sustain was at least a full second longer than the same string with a plastic bridge pin. That is a lot of difference when it comes to how long a note stays at peak volume before it starts to decay.

With my 000C-21 TSP the change went from just over 4 seconds to just over 5 seconds. The times are based on certain fretted notes that naturally have good sustain (found at different locations depending on which of the six strings was played, and at different frets for different strings when it comes to triggering sympathetics from other unplayed strings.)
With my 11-year-old OM-42 Deep Body Custom the increase was the same, a full second at least, from just over 5 seconds to just over 6, but the fade lasted longer as well. And on the 25 year old mahogany Martin, a 000C-16 with scalloped OM bracing, the initial fundamental sustain went from over 6 seconds to maybe 8 seconds. And the sustain was not only longer but retained greater definition between the various tones wavering in and around one another as notes or chords were left to ring out. In the case of the mahogany Martin, the pin holes had been slotted by its previous owner, so the persimmon pins were inserted backwards, with the slots facing away from the bridge. But while its
Impressive sustain may be related to the slotting of the bridge, I suspect more of it has to do with the particular Sitka spruce soundboard and the fact it has been played a great deal for a quarter of a century.

When it came to the unison or overtone sympathetics, they likewise had extended sustain, but the played note always stayed strong for that extra second before starting its decay down into the overall body resonance. When compared to the plastic pins that come standard with most acoustic guitars, wooden pins tend to add some fundamental sustain. The
