My question, after owning Lowdens, a Breedlove, and a McElroy, all w/
pinless bridges, for guitars thaT are not trying to be historically
correct copies of old Martins, Gibsons, ect.
Why aren't all guitars equipped w/ pinless bridges?

They seem to be better in everyway that I can see. Are there any
structural problems w/ pinless bridges?

I've owned both and I prefer pinned bridges.
You have to be careful when you change strings to keep from scratching the
top and I think it takes too long to change strings because of that care.
I have a Breedlove 12 string and I'd rather take a beating with a stick than
change strings on that thing.
There are no structural issues that I'm aware of, just the string changing
issue.
