Detail 01
TUSQ instead of plastic
Denser and harder than stock plastic, so string ball ends carve into the pin far more slowly and the seat holds.

Graph TechTusq Ivory Acoustic Guitar Bridge Pins White Black Dot
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
TUSQ bridge pins for pin-bridge acoustics, ivory-look with a black dot. A cheap swap when the factory plastic pins are grooved or creeping up.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing soft plastic pins with ball-end grooves worn into them
- Pins that lift out of the bridge after tuning to pitch
- Matching ivory-look hardware across the bridge and nut
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Pinless bridges and classical guitars — nothing to replace
- Bridges cut for a different pin taper; pins are not universal
- Anyone expecting a large tone change from a pin swap
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
Ivory color with black dot
Cosmetic only. It's the standard vintage-look acoustic pin appearance; the dot changes nothing about how the pin seats.
Detail 03
Acoustic bridge pins
They wedge the ball end against the underside of the bridge plate. The fit that matters is the taper, not the visible pin length.
Detail 04
Same TUSQ material as Graph Tech nuts and saddles
If you're already running their nut or saddle, the color and material match across all three pieces.
Detail 05
Around $23 for the set
Less than a shop setup, and fully reversible — keep the originals in the case pocket if the fit isn't right.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Test-fit one pin before restringing; too high or too deep means wrong taper
- 02You'll need a pin puller or a string winder notch — never pry with pliers
- 03This is pins only; no strings, bridge plate parts or tools included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do bridge pins actually change the sound?
Any difference is small. The pin's job is holding the ball end against the bridge plate; a harder material mainly means a more consistent seat and less wear, not a new voice.
02Will these fit any acoustic guitar?
Only pin-bridge acoustics, and only if the taper matches. Drop one into an empty hole with no string — it should sit close to flush without falling through or standing proud.
03How do I get the old pins out without damaging the bridge?
Slack the string fully, push the string down to unseat the ball, then lift the pin with a puller or the notch on a string winder. Don't lever against the bridge top.
04Do I need glue?
No. Bridge pins are held by taper and string tension. If a pin only stays put with glue, the taper is wrong or the hole is worn and needs a tech.
