Its tapered shape reduces weight, provides straight string alignment, enhances tuning stability, and reduces neck - twisting effects. - Ibanez Advantage™ bridge pins: Easier to insert and remove than standard pins. The special bulb - shaped end makes them easy to grip and prevents over - insertion. They keep the pin and string in place. Additional Information: PLU: AAM54OPN
