There will be a pear shaped "scrub" track on them where the string rode. Decide for yourself if that's a good enough string termination for you and replace them, or not, as you chose. With all the mileage given to perfecting the agraffe hole and v-bar shape, it seems to me that techs should be mildly concerned about the condition of the bridge pins too. Ron
