Unbleached Acoustic Guitar Bridge Pins,Made of Real Bones,Inlaid Abalone Dot, Bridge Pin Puller was Included

As a professional musician and guitar tech, I highly recommend your change out your old plastic, ebony, and faux tortoiseshell pins for a set of solid bone bridge pins and these do not disappoint. I installed these on a Martin D18 guitar and a Gibson J-200. The Martin fit perfectly and the Gibson required a little sanding of the pins to fit flush on the bridge (see below). The color of the pins is as advertised, unbleached bone (my favorite), the color is consistent on all six pins, the Abalone dot inlaid looks great and is uniform on all pins. I have replaced bridge pins on most of my guitars and many of my client’s guitars and it is important to know about the fit. First, use a digital calibrator to measure the pins on the guitar to be certain the new ones will fit. Sometimes it is necessary to use fine sandpaper to sand down the pin shaft to properly fit the bridge (my Gibson J-200). Do not underestimate this very simple step since it can make all the difference in the fit, appearance, and effectiveness of the bone bridge pins. There are a lot of myths, arguments, and debates about the sonic effectiveness of bridge pins. In my opinion, something organic as opposed to plastic (fake), just makes sense when dealing with an acoustic guitar. Not to mention, bone is far superior in longevity and sustain over ebony, plastic, or other synthetic materials. On some guitars, the pins have produced definable, measurable, and conclusive sonic advantages. On others, the results showed a negligible difference. Many people find a positive difference in the sound using bone bridge pins. In any case, bone bridge pins are of superior quality, a longer-lasting material, and a better-looking component for your guitar.

Fit perfectly in my Martin Dreadnaugt. Will buy again. First four photos are without flash and the last with to try to show the color. Love these. My Martin sounds and looks great (I have bone nut and saddle) so this was a nice addition. Very pleased.

These pins are very nice made of real bone. They have added a little extra sustain and tone very well. The craftsmanship is impeccable. Looks like someone really did some very nice handwork on these, highly polished, very consistent and an excellent value for the price. The size described by the seller is very accurate. These pins lean more to a 3°taper than a 5°taper but fits perfect in my Gibson Hummingbird. These pins are heavy duty quality and the Pau dot inlay is superb. I highly recommend these pins. Oh, and comes with a nice little pin puller you can put on a keychain.

So I received these pins fairly quickly, actually one day before it was supposed to be here. I noticed right away that one pin is missing an abalone dot, not a huge deal for me, they are going on a cheaper guitar, but some people may be disappointed if this happens to them. For what I paid I cant really complain. They DO look, feel, and sound like real bone when handled in your hand. I installed them on a Samick Greg Bennett D-1 (Left Handed). They are slightly too big, but it's nothing a bridge pin reamer cant fix. I'm not worried. But again, pay attention to dimensions if you have a more expensive guitar. Overall, as far as sound change or quality from these, they are a FAR better pin than the plastic ones the guitar came with, and I noticed a tone change. It seems to sound slightly more full. I did notice for my guitar it didnt seem to gain brightness as stated in some other reviews, but it kind of mellowed the tone a little. All in all, that being said the guitar didnt have mind blowing tone to begin with, it was decent, but these bone pins do make a noticeable difference and it isnt a negative difference by any means. They are a good value and I would definitely recommend these to someone getting them to upgrade a cheaper guitar. Based on the missing abalone dot, I would say if you are particular just be aware QC may not be the greatest as far as aesthetics, but they are solid pins as far as structure. Decent product....just a few things that didnt match up with other reviews and what the seller was portraying.

I just ordered a second set of these inlaid bone bridge pins. The first set I got was around four years ago. I change my strings about every six weeks (sounds like overkill but I’ve been recording). I love these pins. I already had a bone nut and saddle on a nice guitar… added these pins and it all just works together. When other musicians pick up my acoustic they always go “wow, this thing has enormous sustain!” . I think these pins help contribute to it. When I go for a string change I never worry about damaging a cheap plastic or wood pin. The second set I just ordered is for a friend who I just gifted a guitar with a bone nut and saddle, and I’m confident that adding this on the next string change will only do good. I love that they aren’t hard bleached. Just an aesthetic choice, but the natural polished bone look with the inlay is just nice imo. If the second set is as good as the ones I got a few years ago, I’ll probably buy more.

These are nice bridge pins. I bought them to put on my Ibanez AWFS300CE acoustic/electric guitar. They were too thick to fit, so I scraped them down with my pocketknife. I chose this brand for the Ibanez because the nut and saddle on it are unbleached also.

For 11 dollars these made a massive difference in the tone of my Martin D-35!! When you use all bone for the nut, bridge and pins it really makes a huge difference and these are an affordable way to change the tone of an acoustic guitar!

I knew I was gambling on the consistency of the appearance of the abalone inlays. Luckily they were all intact, unlike some other reviewers'. Two of the pins are very bland, one is semi bland and three are pretty decent looking. I won't begrudge them for that, they're cheap enough that I actually considered buying 2 sets - One could just use the 6 best looking ones and have the rest as spares. I may still do that. However, there's a bit of a problem with the pin design. The shank diameter is a bit smaller than my previous pins, though they still fit without popping out under tension. It's in the slot and the ridge under the head where the issue lies. The ridge under the head is VERY thick vertically, which leaves the heads sticking up pretty high from the bridge. This would still be "fine", but the slot isn't cut into that ridge, as it is in many other bridge pins. This leaves the head sticking up much higher on the the thickest three strings compared to the other four, resulting in an unattractive unevenness. This issue can't be addressed by simple sanding, I would need to purchase a file to cut into that ridge or into the bridge so that the pins sit more snugly on the low E, A and D strings. Files aren't cheap, and that's asking a bit much to have to purchase one for a one-time use with these pins.

The strings have a nicer sound to them.

Gived a Great tone on both of m'y guitar.

Great product REAL BONE nice color looks vintage

多分標準のアコースティックのはずですがかなり太めのため最後まで入りません。 面倒なので２ｍｍほど浮いて使っていますが音質は良くなったようです。 ブリッジも同時に牛骨にしたのでそのせいかもしれませんが・・・ 時間のある時に径を合わせて音の変化を見てみたいと思います。

as advertised
