Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement bridge pins and endpin for acoustic guitars, ABS plastic in black with contrasting dot inlays. Cheap fix for cracked, lost, or slipping pins.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a cracked or missing pin on an acoustic
- Keeping a spare set in the gig bag
- Restoring a full matching pin set after mismatched replacements
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting bone or ebony pins for tonal change
- Guitars with slotted bridges needing unslotted pins, or vice versa
- Classical guitars, which tie strings rather than pin them
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Black with ivory dot
Standard visual for most acoustics. The dot is the contrast accent, not the whole pin.
Detail 03
Bridge and endpin together
You get the six string pins plus the strap-button end pin, so the whole guitar matches.
Detail 04
Set of matched pins
Replacing all six at once avoids the mismatched look of swapping just the broken one.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Bridge pin holes vary by guitar. Check your existing pin diameter and taper first.
- 02Strings are not included. Plan to restring while the pins are out.
- 03Pull old pins with a bridge pin puller, not pliers, to avoid denting the bridge.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my guitar?
Most standard steel-string acoustics use similar tapered pin holes, but diameters differ by builder. Measure or compare against a pin you already have before ordering.
02Do plastic bridge pins affect tone?
Pin material has a small effect at most compared to strings, saddle, and top. ABS is the standard factory material on a large share of acoustics.
03How many pins come in the set?
Six bridge pins for the six strings, plus one end pin for the strap button at the tail block.
04Do I need slotted or unslotted pins?
Depends on your bridge. If the bridge holes are already slotted for the string, use unslotted pins. If not, you need slotted pins.
