Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing one missing or cracked bridge pin
  • Matching an existing set of ebony pins
  • Cosmetic upgrade over stock plastic pins

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone needing a full set of six in one order
  • Classical or nylon-string guitars, which tie strings instead
  • Electric guitars and any bridge without pin holes

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 01

Bridge pin

Holds the string ball end against the bridge plate. It is a wear part, not a permanent fitting.

Detail 02

Ebony

Dense hardwood, harder and heavier than the plastic pins that ship on most acoustics.

Detail 03

Pearl inlay dot

Visible dot on the pin head. Mixing with plain pins will look inconsistent across the bridge.

Detail 04

Sold individually

One pin per unit. A complete six-string set requires six.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Bridge pin holes vary. Check taper and diameter against your existing pins.
  2. 02Buy six if you are replacing the whole set, not one.
  3. 03A tight new pin may need light fitting; forcing it can crack the bridge.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is this a set of six?

No. This is one pin. Order six to replace a full set on a six-string acoustic.

02Will it fit my guitar?

It fits standard pin-bridge acoustics, but hole taper varies by maker. Compare it to a pin you already have.

03Does it work on a classical guitar?

No. Classical and nylon-string guitars tie the strings at the bridge and have no pin holes.

04What if it sits too high in the hole?

The taper is slightly off for your bridge. Light sanding of the pin, done gradually, is the usual fix.
