Plastic, brass and ebony all give my martin guitar a definite tonal change. Brass made it more bright and ebony gave it more punch. Ive always wanted a nice set of ivory or bone pins though.
Unlike and electric guitar which pickups up vibrations of the strings, an acoustic guitar is amplified by the vibrations of the sound board which is in turn affected by everything connected to it. Anyone in here bow hunt? Limbsaver reduce the vibration of the bow and they are placed on the limbs of the bow, not the string. The point Im trying to make here is that any material that can potentially alter or hinder vibration in the sound board can change the tone of an acoustic guitar.
