Detail 01
Tusq material
Harder and more consistent than the soft plastic most guitars ship with, so slot edges resist chipping.

Graph TechTusq Ivory Acoustic Guitar Bridge Pins Black No Dot
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Tusq bridge pins in black with no dot inlay. For replacing worn or cracked plastic pins on a steel-string acoustic.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing chipped or split factory pins on a steel-string acoustic
- Getting a solid dark bridge with no contrasting dot
- Players who restring often and keep breaking stock pins
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Nylon-string classicals, which tie strings and have no pin holes
- Anyone who wants a visible dot for contrast at the bridge
- Guitars whose pin holes use a different diameter or taper
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
No dot
Plain head, nothing inlaid. The bridge reads as one solid dark surface instead of six bright points.
Detail 03
Black
Blends into ebony and dark rosewood bridges. On a lighter bridge the pins become the visual accent.
Detail 04
Acoustic guitar sizing
Cut for standard steel-string bridges. Taper and hole size still vary between builders, so fit is not guaranteed.
Detail 05
Around twenty dollars a set
Cheap enough to keep spares. A pin snapping mid-restring otherwise stops the job cold.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pull one stock pin and compare diameter and taper before you cut the strings off
- 02Pins only. No saddle, nut, or pin puller included
- 03If a pin sits high, the hole needs light reaming, not force
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 acoustic bridges take them, but hole taper varies by builder. Pull one factory pin and compare diameter and taper before you commit to a restring.
02Do bridge pins change the sound?
Any difference is small next to strings, saddle, and setup. Buy these for durability and looks, not for a tone change.
03Can I use these on a classical guitar?
No. Nylon-string classicals tie the strings to the bridge and have no pin holes at all.
04How do I remove the old pins without damaging the bridge?
Use a pin puller or the notch built into a string winder. Prying with pliers or a screwdriver dents the bridge and chips the finish.
