Just got my 12 string out to change the strings as I have a gig later, and it needs doing as I havent changed them in AGES, and its down to 9

Slackened off the strings, then snipped the 2 (low E) strings, (in a mega rush to get it done in time, my own fault for rushing)

Went to pull the bridge pins out for both the strings and they both snapped

OH FFS

So now I have a 7 string guitar, with no low E! Just had a look and I have no spare bridge pins,

And 45 minutes to sort it... which aint gonna happen pmsl.

Gonna get a set of brass or bone slotless ones next to stop this happening again, so fookin frustrated its unreal

[/rant]

Anyone ever gone over to brass/bone? Or FWI ones? (Fossilised Walrus Ivory)

fancy a set of these, brass with black mother of pearl inlays
