Hi,
Finally got around to replacing the plastic bridge pins on my 214 with Taylor ebony. There is an improvement in sustain. Funny thing, there also seems to be an improvement in tuning stability, not that it was bad to begin with. It was just that I seemed to spend a lot of time fine tuning, like on a fiddle; doesn't seem to be the case now. Anyway, cheap and effective upgrade, don't know why Taylor doesn't use ebony to begin with, the cost difference would be minimal. Tks
