Detail 01
Boxwood
Dense, fine-grained hardwood. Harder and heavier than plastic, so pins seat firmly and resist deforming under string tension.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Boxwood bridge pins and end pin for steel-string acoustics. A cosmetic and material swap for players replacing worn or missing plastic pins.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a lost or cracked bridge pin on an acoustic
- Matching wood pins to a guitar's existing wood trim
- Swapping factory plastic pins for a wood set
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical or nylon-string guitars, which tie strings at the bridge
- Players wanting a dramatic tone change from a pin swap
- Slotted-bridge acoustics that use no pins at all
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
Set includes end pin
Covers the strap button at the tail as well as the six bridge pins, so the whole guitar matches.
Detail 03
Unslotted-style wood pins
Wood pins rely on the bridge slot for string ball placement. A poorly slotted bridge will push pins upward.
Detail 04
Under $25
Cheap enough to treat as a consumable. Pins get lost during string changes and crack with rough removal.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pin taper and diameter vary by guitar. Check yours before assuming a drop-in fit.
- 02Bridge slots may need filing so the string ball seats below the pin.
- 03Use a pin puller. Prying with pliers chips the bridge and cracks pins.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will wood pins change my guitar's tone?
Pin material affects mass at the bridge, so any change is subtle at best. Buy these for the look, fit and durability, not for a tonal upgrade.
02How many pins are in the set?
It is a bridge and end pin set for a six-string acoustic, covering the bridge pins plus the tail end pin.
03Do these fit any acoustic guitar?
Only pin-bridge steel-strings, and only if the taper matches your existing pins. Bridge hole sizes vary between builders and eras.
04Can I install these myself?
Yes. Remove strings, pull old pins with a puller, seat the new ones by hand, then restring. No tools beyond a pin puller are needed.
