D'AddarioABS Bridge/End Pin Set Black
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement bridge pins and end pin for acoustic guitars, in black ABS plastic. For anyone whose original pins are cracked, lost, or slipping.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a cracked or missing pin without buying a matched set
- Keeping a spare set in the case for gig-night failures
- Restoring a black-pin look on a guitar with mismatched pins
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting bone or ebony pins for a tonal change
- Electric, classical, or nylon-string guitars, which use no bridge pins
- Anyone needing pins sized to an unusual or vintage bridge
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
Bridge pins plus end pin
Covers both the six string-anchoring pins at the bridge and the strap button pin at the tail.
Detail 03
Black
Matches a black-bound or dark bridge. Against a light bridge the pins read as a deliberate contrast.
Detail 04
Unslotted or slotted fit varies by guitar
Your bridge either has string slots cut into it or relies on slots in the pin. Check yours before swapping.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pins seat by taper, not force. Push firm, never hammer, or the bridge splits
- 02Change one string at a time so neck tension stays roughly even
- 03Old pins often stick. A bridge pin puller beats prying with pliers
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my guitar?
They fit standard acoustic bridges, which covers most steel-string guitars. Vintage instruments and some imports use off-size holes, so pull an old pin and compare taper and diameter first.
02Do plastic pins sound different from bone?
Denser pins like bone or brass can add a little brightness and sustain. The difference is small next to strings, saddle, and setup. ABS is the standard fit-and-forget choice.
03How many pins are in the set?
A full bridge set for a six-string plus the end pin at the tail block.
04Can I install these myself?
Yes. Pull the old pin, drop the ball end of the string into the hole, seat the new pin with the slot facing the neck, and bring the string to pitch.
