Hi everyone. I,ve been reading this forum for a couple of months. I own a late 90's D03R, unfortunately, after being at my son's apartment for the last year, it looked liked the pictures on the Larrivee website of the dried up guitar, cracked top and all! While my guitar was being repaired and rehumidified at Music Folk in St. Louis, I noticed a used satin rosewood parlor. Picked it up, 3 notes later, I own it too! It matches my D03 perfectly.('cept for the newly repaired crack).
Here's my question: Will the planet wave bridgepins from Musician's friend fit my D03? From reading previous posts, it seems that Taylor pins will fit, they're fairly inexpensive from Taylor's website. The pins on my D03 are plastic and pretty gnarly.
Thanks in advance. JP

Welcome to the Larrivee Guitar Forum!

To answer your question, as far as I know they should fit okay.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they'll fit, too. That is what I got to replace the ABS plastic pins in my Alvarez and they look essentially identical to the ebony pins on my D-09.

Welcom to the Forum!

Thanks all. I bought the planet waves ebony pins with pearl dots locally, they fit perfectly. The pearl is consistent with the looks of the guitar. JP

Welcome brother. Thanks for the info on the pins. I'm hoping another jimmy may improve the standing of that name on this board. :WNK>

Bob Colosi sells bone and ivory saddles and bridge pins on his website: http://www.guitarsaddles.com/

According to Bob's website, Taylor and Larrivee use the same size bridge pins. The chart is available here: http://www.guitarsaddles.com/products.htm

I plan to replace the plastic bridge pins on my L-03 with bone or ivory soon.

Welcome to the forum!
