This might not appeal to the acoustic aficionados but..... i really liked the idea of this, easy to string and the strings are anchored better to the soundboard. I love the aesthetics, i love the speed with which the strings can be changed and for this guitar the black power pins look great (also available in chrome and gold).. sound wise i think it has added a nice bit of high end to my faith eclipse dreadnought. heartily recommended!!
here are some pictures of it fitted to my guitar:

I can't see why that would be the case? The guitar sounds just as lively, just as loud. the strings are still anchored to the soundboard (more securely now) Im no acoustic aficionado so maybe i could be educated in this regard?

Exactly, and so the string is *less* directly connected to the soundboard, even if the Power Pin is bolted tightly to the bridge.

I understand why they split opinion, but I am glad you are happy with what they do and that they give you the ease of string changes that you wanted. Sounds like a good buy to me.
