Crosby Slotted Pure Bone Bridge Pins - White Top

Bridge pins can be an essential addition to you Guitar. 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 Amazon. 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.

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.

I don't know if it was just my acoustic or if this is standard, but I had to spend a good amount of time sanding these down so they would fit properly. I didn't mind very much because I enjoy working on my guitars, but a little less sanding would have been nice. They look great and are solid once they fit the holes in the bridge. One other thing I noticed was that on a couple of them, the glue had oozed out from under the abalone dot, which affected the aesthetic. People aren't going to notice unless they look closely, but you will definitely notice it anytime you change strings. This can be sanded off though, so not a big deal. Overall, good product and would buy again.

I just got these for my Martin DXM Dreadnaught (one of the earlier models made in the U.S.) and was surprised that it fit without having to sand it down. Basically plug and play! It makes my guitar sound a little bit louder too. I was originally using plastic pegs to replace my original factory Martin bridge pegs, but those weren’t a great fit and just felt very low quality overall. These are just the right size (if you need to you, can sand them down as suggested on the tin), they fit secure and look really nice too. High quality for the price and what they are.

These are good bridge pins, a little big so i had to sand to fit my guitar.also the coller around the top of the pins were not slotted like my old plastic pins so i used my rotary tool to carefully slot the collars and they work fine. If im honest i cant tell any difference in tone but they are better then i had

as advertised, good price, good quality, and fast delivery

The appearance is quite appealing. 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.

Bought these to replace my plastic pegs on my guitar. I found that they give a warmer sound compared to the plastic ones which could mean alot for a bright sounding guitar. I know that string gauge plays an intrical part as well, but I found that using these pegs when you have a bone bridge can adjust the high tone to a warmer tone.

Terrific value for money. These are a genuinely great item, and come in their own little tin box. A fraction oversize for Yamaha acoustics, and could be sanded down to fit, but I went for a reamer on the bridge instead, and after half a dozen turns, they fit like a glove. A lot better than many of the other "Bone" bridge pins out there, so a couple of sets to fit my 12 string are on the way.

Belle qualité pour ces produits en bois. Ces chevilles ont offert une belle esthétique à ma guitare et favorisent le passage des vibrations vers la caisse. Limer progressivement comme indiqué pour les adapter sur-mesure à votre folk.

Son muy pero muy bonitos y se ven de muy buena calidad... todavía estoy terminando de arreglar la guitarras para poderlos montar.. pero si, 5 estrellas sin duda!

La, verdad me sorprendieron, muy buena calidad en general, el color del insert es mucho más uniforme entre todos los pins que lo que parece en la foto que se ven todos diferentes y me gusta más asi todos mas uniformes. Los monte en una martin Djr 10 Junior Burst y claramente ahora suena más brillante y definida y ha ganado en sustain con respecto a las de plastico que traia. Si acaso ahora es demasiado brillante ya que también lleva la selleta de serie que está hecha de Tusq, quizá pruebe con unos pines de ebano la proxima vez, pero muy contento con el resultado.
