Nope. Seems like a bad idea that causes more problems than it solves.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

I have no experience with them, but they kinda look like they would raise the fulcrum point of the force exerted on the bridge by the strings? which could possibly cause problems down the line.
The anchor on the bottom would probably mitigate that, But I'm not sure"If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough" -Mario Andretti

I looked into them, but ultimately went with TUSQ pins. I couldn't find any definitive evidence that they significantly improved the sound, and read several reviews which said that strings could and would pop out.
That being said, I welcome any improvement here. The acoustic bridge is sadly still (mostly) relying on bridge pins. My Adamas uses a pinless bridge, which really should be the standard these days.Administrator of the SDUGF

They wouldn't raise the action
The bridge and. Nut dont move
The action should remain the same
The break angle over the bridge could make for a softer feel on the strings
They look like they would want to twist under tension
For that reason, I'm outEHD
