Of course on a poor quality guitar it may not improve much with a set of bone bridge pins, but it’s doesn’t mean that after a good setup that bridge pins wouldn’t help improve your guitar still. Having read through many reviews from various reviewers for various brands/sellers of bridge pins I decided to try this brand Crosby Audio. The most discussed facts about bridge pins were their dimensions, material and quality. Dimensions are something you may have to consider to be specific, but also dependent on the manufacturer. Many reviewers mentioned that the bridge pins either fit their guitar, didn’t or some didn’t fit exactly perfect. What you can know is that unless in the description the seller/brand indicates that the bridge pins are machine manufacture to exact specs that you should expect some possible variation to their size because these are likely handmade and not precision computer control manufactured so they won’t be perfectly all alike. You can see that their shape is not exact but as close as an individual could make them to be. So when you compare the dimensions listed and compare them to your guitars original bridge pin dimensions keep in mind they may be a good fit or not. That means they could be larger, smaller or just right like Goldilocks and the three bears. If they are larger or just right you should be fine because you can shape them smaller to fit your guitar. If they are smaller then you’ve got to use them with a different guitar or contact the seller for replacements. Material for this brand/seller is ox bone and when I opened the sealed paper envelope I received 6 bone bridge pins which were what I would describe as bone white color. I tapped them on each other and they made a solid clack which don’t sound plastic like. I liked the weight of them as they had heft for the actual size of each bridge pin and felt nice in my hands and between my fingers. Each of us are different and your experience and opinion may differ from mine, but for the most part they should feel substantial and of good quality. For those who at times may state for their experience (not specifically this brand/seller) but of some reviews I have read some have described they seemed like plastic. I don’t expect you to have that experience with this product, but you will have to state that if that’s what you get when you open up your package. I do not think that will be your experience based on the reviews I’ve read for this brand and seller. Quality is an area where one must take things with a reasonable grain of salt. Brands and sellers always try to represent their product with the best image they can provide on desertcart. With that in mind we should expect not to be expecting to get the best quality in color of the mother of pearl inset represented by the image this brand and seller uses. With that in mind you won’t get too disappointed when you open up your package. If you get something exact like the image used to sell this product you won the lottery. If you get something decent, shiny and with decent color but not spectacular like the image used to sell this product then you got what’s like the norm that most buyers will receive. This product price was middle of the road. I do not expect that much from low cost products nor do I expect the product to wow me. That would normally be a response I get when paying top dollar. Middle of the road prices you should expect good quality and sometimes maybe are surprised by how good the product is. To conclude this review I want to give you my impressions of the product in use past the physical looks. I install this set of bridge pins into my Epiphone Texan VS. this acoustic guitar was setup awhile ago which cost me $75. The setup I asked for was for a lower action as close to electric as possible while not having buzz anywhere along the higher registers. I’ve not had this guitar setup recently so that’s been like 7-9 years ago. I keep my guitar in its case and when possible try to keep it in the appropriate humidity range though I’m not paying attention to this as close as I should. As soon as I changed he bridge pins and started tuning the guitar I noticed the tone, resonance, sustain and clarity of the notes. This guitar has aged well and the recent humidity stabilization has helped with its sound. After completely tuning the guitar I played a few notes and chords and asked my son to listen. Since he has a keen ear being a musician who is intending to attend Frank Sinatra HS or LaGuardia HS as a Tuba player I can rely on him to critique on the sound of my guitar after changing the bridge pins. After he pulled his headphones to the side to listen to the guitar his eyes perked up as he heard the notes and chords. The resonance and sustain was much longer, the notes much clearer and the tone much richer. Volume did got up also a bit compared to my playing prior to changing in the new bridge pins. Of course your guitar might not get the same improvements mine got, but this also is personal opinion with this item which may differ for you. I’m planning to buy another set for my Yamaha and Fender guitars when I bring them in for a setup and hope to get a similar or reasonable improvement to those guitars also. Review: Major change in volume and tone - My Guild d-140 came with a bone nut and saddle, but with plastic bridge pins. I've "settled" for the sound for many years, but wanted to see how much difference there would be if I changed the pins to bone. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Much more volume and charity of individual strings! This is probably the cheapest component found on many guitars and, after the change to bone, I cannot understand why guitar manufacturers use plastic components for the nut, saddle and bridge pins in many guitars (even some high-end guitars); it's a cheap fix! Thank goodness Guild provided a bone nut and saddle in my D-140. I can't speak to the degree that bone bridge pins will improve your guitar's sound, but for around $10, there is nothing to lose by giving them a try. As an important side note, I've recently changed my strings to GHS Contact Core Acoustic Guitar Strings and they sound fantastic. You might want to visit the GHS Guitar String website and see if these strings will benefit the sound of your guitar. As far as I know, GHS is the only string manufacturer that makes Contact Core Strings. Give-em a try......you might just find them perfect for your acoustic guitar. If you are a new player looking for a fantastic guitar at a very reasonable price, you should consider a Guild D-140 and GHS Contact Core Strings. Also change the bridge pins to the bone pins I purchased. You may have to do a little sanding on the pins so they fit the holes in the bridge. It's an easy task, but go slow to be sure you don't sand them down to a point where the fit is too loose. It took me only 5 minutes to sand mine to the perfect fit. I did, however, find one bridge pin that was made a little too small to fit the bridge when all other pins in the box needed filing down for a nice firm fit. ## Features - IMPROVE TONE - Our slotted pins can add clarity, tone, sustain and volume to your acoustic guitar, while the finely crafted abalone inlay will upgrade the appearance of your bridge. - FITS MOST GUITARS - The standard 1T pegs fit most guitars including; Martin, Taylor, Gibson, Fender, Guild, Takamine, Yamaha and more. If the pins are too big, simply sand them down until they fit. - EASY TO REMOVE - Compared to low profile pins, our Pure Bone Bridge Pins feature a pronounced collar for easy removal. - MADE TO LAST - Unlike plastic bridge pins, our handmade white ox bone pins won't easily break or deform, making them a great gift for any guitar player. - ENHANCE SOUND - Compared to plastic and metal pins, bone can enhance low and mid tones, while adding sparkling highs, producing a more even tone that guitarists desire. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #272 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #2 in Guitar Bridges & Bridge Parts | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 3,369 Reviews | ## Images ![Crosby Slotted Pure Bone Bridge Pins - Abalone Dot - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715U7g-wSeL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do these pins fit Fender acoustic guitars?** A: the pins should fit fine. **Q: Do you have any 2A bridge pins?** A: Just 1T at the moment. **Q: Will these fit a honda guitar est 1969 model # ho16n?** A: Our bridge pins are a standard size and fit most guitars.

It seems that the tone remains relatively consistent, and the addition of ebony doesn’t significantly alter the sound compared to the standard plastic ones typically included with the guitar. Fitting them was a bit challenging as I had to sand them down, but they feel securely in place now. Overall, they offer good value for the price. In hindsight, opting for the bone options might have been a better choice. At least they work. As for the bone pins, they are pretty amazing! I had to shave them down a bit, but they added a clarity to the I to action of my Martin. ## Frequently Bought Together - Crosby Slotted Pure Bone Bridge Pins with Abalone Dot Inlay for 6 & 12 String Acoustic Guitar - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - Elixir Strings, Acoustic Guitar Strings, 80/20 Bronze with NANOWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Bright and Focused Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Light 12-53 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/129871440-crosby-slotted-pure-bone-bridge-pins-abalone-dot](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/129871440-crosby-slotted-pure-bone-bridge-pins-abalone-dot) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
