This is my first pinless acoustic bridge. 'Twas a bit of a pain when the ball ends were kinda stuck in there. Took a bit of effort to get them out but no biggie. I usually use Elixir, so normally I wouldn't have those coloured ends exposed. Doesn't bother me, thankfully :winky:

don't think I've ever seen an acoustic pin less. Can't really see the reasoning, surely the ends are going to always eat into the bridge until stuck, there's not a lot of wood around some of those holes and even the stress is on the glue not the top, obviously they've made it work ok if Oleg liked it
