Graph TechTusq Ivory Acoustic Guitar Bridge Pins White Pearl Dot
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Tusq bridge pins in white with a pearl dot. For replacing worn plastic pins on a steel-string acoustic and keeping the traditional look.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restoring the classic white pin and pearl dot look
- Replacing pins that chip or split at the string slot
- Matching a white nut and saddle on the same guitar
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants pins to disappear into a dark bridge
- Nylon-string classicals, which have no pin holes
- 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
White
The traditional pairing with a rosewood or ebony bridge. On a light bridge the contrast mostly disappears.
Detail 03
Tusq material
Denser than the plastic pins most guitars ship with, so the slot edge holds up to repeated restringing.
Detail 04
Acoustic guitar sizing
Cut for standard steel-string bridges. Taper still varies enough between builders that a test fit matters.
Detail 05
Costs more than the plain black set
The difference is the pearl dot, not the material. Same Tusq either way.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Compare taper and diameter against a stock pin before you cut the strings off
- 02Pins only. No saddle, nut, or string winder included
- 03Pull old pins with a puller or winder notch, never pliers against the bridge
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these match my existing nut and saddle?
White Tusq sits close to typical light nut and saddle material. On an older guitar, yellowed plastic parts will read warmer than fresh white pins.
02Will these fit any acoustic?
Most standard steel-string bridges, yes. Hole diameter and taper vary by builder, so pull one factory pin and compare before restringing.
03Do bridge pins change the tone?
Any difference is small next to strings, saddle, and setup. Choose these for durability and the look at the bridge.
04What is the difference between these and the no-dot black pins?
Same Tusq material. These are white with a pearl dot for a traditional contrasting bridge; the black no-dot set disappears into a dark bridge instead.
