Please use the sizing chart below for our Fossilized Walrus Ivory, Fossilized Walrus Jawbone, Mammoth Ivory, Buffalo Horn & Bone bridge pins. If you don't see your guitar listed, we don't carry bridge pins to fit it and we recommend that you contact the guitar manufacturer for bridge pin advice and availability.
Size 1
* 3º tapered shaft * 0.210" diameter at the top of the shaft (just below the skirt) * string slot running the full length of the shaft, stopping below the skirt.
Size 1 fit the following guitars:
Martin guitars prior to 1994 (except HD-28, see size 2B)
Blueridge guitars
Collings guitars prior to 2002
Blanchard
Garrison
Goodall
Ryan

Taylor guitars.
Size 2A
* If you own a new Martin guitar, chances are the bridge pins are installed so that the head of the pin sticks up about ¼" above the bridge. Our Size 2A pins will fit the same way. * 5º tapered shaft * 0.220" diameter at the top of the shaft (just below the skirt) * string slot running the full length of the shaft and cutting through the skirt
Size 2A fit the following guitars:
Martin guitars since 1994 (includes the HD-28)
Gibson guitars
** Note: Turn a size 2A pin into a size 2C by very lightly sanding around the shaft of the pin with a very fine grit sandpaper (at least 320) until the pin sits as low as you want it to. Be extremely careful when sanding around the shaft that you don't sand too much off, the difference in the 2 pin sizes is about the thickness of a piece of paper (0.005") so it only take a few passes around the shaft.
Size 2B
* The same as Size 2A except the string slot actually stops 1/16" below the bottom of the skirt.
Size 2B fit the following guitars:
Martin HD-28 guitars prior to 1994
Size 2C
* Same degree of taper as 2A but with a reduced shaft diameter (0.215 at the top of the shaft) so that they will sit farther down in the bridge.
Size 2C fit the following guitars:
Martin gutiars since 1994 (including the Martin HD-28)
** Note: Turn a size 2A pin into a size 2C by very lightly sanding around the shaft of the pin with a very fine grit sandpaper (at least 320) until the pin sits as low as you want it to. Be extremely careful when sanding around the shaft that you don't sand too much off, the difference in the 2 pin sizes is about the thickness of a piece of paper (0.005") so it only take a few passes around the shaft.
Size 4.2D
* 5º tapered shaft * shaft diameter at the top of the shaft is 0.207" and tapers down to 0.144" with a long (0.945") shaft * the slot runs the full length of the shaft, stopping below the ball * these pins do not have a skirt - just a slight ridge beneath the ball * the slot does penetrate this ridge.
