Detail 01
Ebony
Dense hardwood, considerably harder than the plastic pins most acoustics ship with, so slots resist deforming under string ball ends.

TaylorEbony Bridge Pins Set of 6 Black
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Six black ebony bridge pins for steel-string acoustics. A direct replacement for stock plastic pins on a standard-size bridge.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing worn or cracked plastic pins on a steel-string
- Matching black hardware on a dark-bridge acoustic
- Keeping a spare set on hand for a gigging acoustic
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical or nylon-string guitars, which tie strings at the bridge
- Guitars with slotted bridges needing unslotted pins, or the reverse
- Players wanting a contrasting white or abalone-dot look
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
Set of 6
One full guitar's worth — you replace all six at once rather than mixing old and new.
Detail 03
Black finish
Disappears into a rosewood or ebony bridge; on a light maple or spruce bridge it reads as a strong contrast.
Detail 04
Solid, no inlay dot
Plain top face rather than a pearl or abalone dot — a quieter look than most factory pins.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing pins — bridge pin taper and diameter vary between guitars
- 02Check whether your bridge is slotted; that determines if the pin needs a slot
- 03Strings not included — plan the swap during a restring
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my guitar?
Bridge pin taper and diameter vary by builder. Pull one existing pin and compare it side by side before installing. A pin that sits too high or drops too deep is the wrong taper.
02Do ebony pins change the sound?
They're denser and harder than plastic, which changes how string energy transfers into the bridge. The difference is subtle and easiest to hear in the attack, not a dramatic change.
03Can I use these on a classical guitar?
No. Nylon-string classicals tie the strings to a tie-block bridge and have no pin holes at all.
04How do I get my old pins out without damaging the bridge?
Use a proper bridge pin puller or the notch on a string winder. Prying with pliers or a screwdriver chips the bridge and the finish around the hole.
