Blisstime 6pcs Ebony Guitar Pins Inlaid Abalone Dot Acoustic Guitar Replacement Parts

These fit my Blueridge well, look great, and actually improved tone considerably compared to the plastic pins.

Love these. They look great on my Guild D26-nt 6 string so I got them for my 12 strings Guild F-2512e. Needed to sand them down to fit the 12 string. Definitely better sound over the stock plastic pins. They have spacer disk under the ball that makes it easy to pop them out with a pin puller.

Pins received are definitely real wood, not plastic as some have claimed. They may seem to be to some without much experience with the wood. Ebony is very hard, and very smooth, without much visible grain. This ebony also has been dyed black to create a uniform dark black without the occasional dark brown streaks that appear in natural ebony. Dying ebony black is not uncommon, with guitar manufacturers doing the same to many fretboards because people for some reason want pure black ebony instead of the beautiful natural. All these things make the wood look plastic to some. Also, lots of questions on "Will these fit a _____ guitar, or a ______ guitar?". Well, yes they will fit on most guitars. However, will they fit perfectly on most guitars? No. Bridge pins have always been a custom fit item. To fit properly and look properly they need to be fitted to that particular guitar. Too many people want a one-size-fits-all product. Take the same bridge pins and same guitar to Florida and then to Arizona, and the pins will fit very differently. Wood products like guitars and pins can have tolerances that vary a great deal with heat and humidity. Ideally, you should fit your pins using the same string size and in the same environment you usually play in. All of these pins so have were too large to properly fit my Martin. This is a good thing because I can then file and sand them perfectly. The skirts just sit right on bridge now strung up with only light-miderate pressure on the pins. When you've fitted a pin perfectly, write the number of the string it goes in 6,5,4..1 on the pin. Or for something different, on the pin for the 3rd string hole I use a tiny drill bit and make 3 shallow holes down the back of the pin shaft. I fill the holes almost full with bone dust and apply UV cure resin over the holes. Cure resin, then sand the area flush with the other areas, polish and your done. Looks very nice and you can easily see what hole the pin goes in. Repeat for the other 5 strings.

These pins are very nice. For some reason I like the look of them better in photos than in person. The brass ring around the abalone is okay, but of course it makes the abalone dot smaller. It's still a nice product, but less striking than I thought it would be.

I got these to replace the plastic pins on my Vangoa acoustic electric, and they're perfect. I ordered these oversized ones because the factory pins were a bit undersized and difficult to remove, but also for some increased tonal 'snap' and sustain. As far as density (in descending order), it goes: Brass, Bone/Ivory, Wood, and then Plastic. These added the right amount of clearance for using a bridge pin puller, a tighter fit, and they look great. There are a few different methods for custom fitting these (check YouTube), and it's easy to do. The ebony is good quality on these, and with some typical shaving needed for a custom fit, they're perfect. As far as the difference in tone they provide - it's subtle but noticeable. More sustain, more brightness, and due to the hardness of the ebony, there's less risk of causing damage to my bridge plate than with easily worn plastic ones. They're also a good value, and the quality is consistent from pin to pin.

Not much to say but they were as described, they were easy to replace my old ones and they look nicer than what I had before.

The Blisstime ebony fret pins fit my Taylor 214 CE perfect! The pins look great with their brass rings. I wish they fit just a little tighter. I did not have to sand them down. I noticed a minimal change to the guitar's smooth tone. If you have plastic pins, I recommend changing them to ebony or bone. If your goal is to make your guitar sound significantly better. Purchase a nice set of quality strings.

I didn't think it was possible for my guitar to sound better/different just by changing the pins, but, it did, and the pins did exactly what they are advertised to do. I own a mid-range Yamaha, and it sounded pretty decent, but once I changed out the plastic pins, the sound just amplified to another level. It's no Tyler, but it's just as good with it's vibrent sound as a low end Tyler. If you want a better sound without paying the extra $$$ on an upgraded guitar while you improve your skills, change out your pins, You won't regret it.

These pins required a small amount of sanding to have them fit the peg holes perfectly. They are really beautiful and add nicely to the overall look of an otherwise plain (no inlay) guitar. Very nice.

Appear to be as good as the Crosby pure ebony set i also bought for another guit.

Good quality, added a darker tone to my bright dreadnought. Would recommend.

I bought these pins for my 2011 Martin OM28 Marquis. I was still using the original pins, and there was noting wrong with them, I just decided to bling it up. After I bought them, I read the reviews of some of the purchasers. These pins arrived as described. They are all uniform, and the abalone and brass inset are striking. In spite of what reviewer posted, I have no doubt that these are ebony. As one other person said, they seem to be a bit loose a fit for the bridge hole, and I would have to agree. I'd say they need to be about 0.5 millimetres bigger in diameter. There is no effort required at putting them in their respective holes, they literally just drop in - and it shouldn't be that way. A minimum amount of force should be required to properly seat the pin once the string ball is in place. Until the strings are tighten to pitch, the pins can actually be pulled out at any stage - and it should not be that way either. I have them in now, with new strings, and so far so good. My recommendation though would be to mill them 0.5 millimetres. larger in diameter. If they don't work out, I'll likely try the authentic Martin pins as they will no doubt fit. I've read elsewhere that the Taylor pins also fit properly in a Martin.

I’ve bought these for 2 guitars now, a great touch to the front, makes the guitar stand out even more
