Detail 01
Abalone inlay dot
The dot is shell rather than plastic, so it shifts color under light instead of sitting flat white.

MartinBridge and End Pin Set in White With Abalone Inlay
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
White bridge and end pin set with abalone inlay dots, for acoustics with pin bridges. A cosmetic upgrade over plain black pins.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Dressing up a natural or light-topped acoustic with abalone accents
- Matching pins to existing abalone rosette or fretboard inlay
- Replacing worn pins and upgrading the look in one go
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical and nylon-string guitars with tie-block bridges
- Anyone chasing a tone change rather than a look change
- Players who want low-visibility pins on a dark bridge
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 pin body
High contrast against a dark rosewood or ebony bridge; the pins become a visual feature, not a hidden part.
Detail 03
Bridge pins plus matching end pin
The tail pin matches the bridge pins, so the guitar reads as one intentional set front to back.
Detail 04
Standard acoustic taper
Drops into the usual pin-bridge hole. Reamed or non-standard bridges may need fitting.
Detail 05
$22.99 versus plain sets
The premium is the shell inlay and white body. Function is the same as a plain pin.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Abalone varies piece to piece — dots won't be identical in color
- 02White pins show dirt and string grime faster than black
- 03Check your bridge hole taper before ordering; non-standard holes need reaming
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the abalone real shell?
The inlay dots are abalone, so each one has its own color pattern. Expect slight variation between pins rather than uniform dots.
02How many pins come in the set?
A full set of bridge pins for a six-string acoustic plus the matching end pin at the tail.
03Will these fit any acoustic guitar?
They use the standard bridge pin taper found on most steel-string acoustics. Guitars with reamed or oversized holes may need the pins fitted.
04Do these sound different from black pins?
No meaningful difference. This is a cosmetic swap — the abalone dot and white body change the look, not the tone.
