Detail 01
Ebony pins
Dense and hard, so they wear slower than plastic and resist the notching that makes strings sit unevenly.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement ebony bridge pins and end pin with abalone dots, for acoustic guitars. Buy as a cosmetic and material upgrade over stock plastic pins.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Swapping out worn or cracked plastic pins on an acoustic
- Matching pins to an ebony bridge or fingerboard
- Replacing a lost pin set with a full matched group
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Electric or bass players — acoustic bridge hardware only
- Guitars with a pinless bridge design
- Anyone expecting a large tonal change from pins alone
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
Abalone dot inlay
Visible dot on each pin head; the look is the main reason to choose these over plain pins.
Detail 03
Includes an end pin
The strap button pin at the tail gets replaced too, so the whole guitar matches.
Detail 04
Sold as a set
All pins come from the same batch, so color and taper stay consistent across the bridge.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pin taper varies by guitar — check yours seats fully without gaps
- 02You need a pin puller or string winder notch; prying with pliers marks the bridge
- 03Slotted vs unslotted matters; the wrong choice pinches the string
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many pins are in the set?
It covers a standard six-string bridge plus the end pin. Count your bridge holes before ordering if your guitar is a twelve-string.
02Will ebony pins change my guitar's tone?
Any change is small. The audible difference between pin materials is far less than a string or saddle change.
03Do they fit any acoustic guitar?
Most standard bridges, but taper and hole diameter vary by builder. A pin that sits high or drops too deep is the wrong taper.
04Is the end pin the same as a strap button?
It is the tail pin the strap loops over. Confirm your guitar has a pin-style tail rather than a screw-in button.
