Graph TechTusq Ivory Acoustic Guitar Bridge Pins White Paua Dot
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement bridge pins in Graph Tech's Tusq material, white with paua shell dots. For acoustic players swapping out stock plastic pins.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing worn or cracked plastic pins on an acoustic
- Matching a white or light-colored bridge and pickguard
- Cheap cosmetic upgrade with a shell dot accent
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a black or ebony-look pin set
- Classical or nylon-string guitars, which tie strings at the bridge
- Anyone expecting an audible tone 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
Paua dot inlay
Iridescent shell dot on the pin head, so it catches light differently than a flat plastic dot.
Detail 03
White color
Reads as ivory-toned, so it pairs with white binding and light bridges rather than disappearing into ebony.
Detail 04
Bridge pin format
Pins wedge the ball end against the bridge plate. Only fits guitars that pin their strings, not tie-block bridges.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing pins — bridge pin diameter and taper vary between guitars
- 02Strings are not included; you pull the strings to swap pins
- 03Use a proper pin puller or a padded bridge lifter to avoid chipping the bridge
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 pinned acoustic bridges, but pin holes vary by builder. Pull one of your current pins and compare taper and diameter before ordering.
02Do bridge pins change the tone?
Any difference is small. The main reasons to swap are worn or cracked pins, slipping strings, and appearance.
03How many pins come in the set?
This is a bridge pin set for a six-string acoustic.
04Can I install these myself?
Yes. Take the strings off, remove the old pins without prying against the bridge, seat the new ones, and restring.
