Ebony Bridge Pins

[Kohtzy]

Does anybody have a recommendation for ebony bridge pins that fit a 2006 D-03?

Hi Ducktrapper, that is actually where I began my search, but they don't have any listed in the Pro Shop. I've looked at others on other websites, but there are no dimensions listed. I'm not crazy about flushing money down the drain in a game of trial and error. I'm hoping that someone has done this research already 👍.

The internets says:


Larrivee guitars use a Size 4.1 slotted pin (3 º tapered shaft)  .

Thanks Willie! I thought that you were a Martin guy...I hope Trigger is treating you well 🙂.

In all seriousness, thank you for the information.

Larrivee uses Industry Standard 3-degree Pins. At least since the 90s

LMII has a nice selection:

Otherwise, Taylor uses the same size pins.

I'm quite partial to these "cat's eye" bridge pins.
ebony, with a brass ring, then an abalone dot inside that.

Thank you everyone!

Hi Headsup,

From your experience, do the LMII pins fit nice and tight?

Thanks,

Tyler

LMIi  pins fit nicely.   I have ebony on my OM-03R and I put boxwood ones on my Forum-III

Luthier's Mercantile has big selection at good prices. Also about anything else you could want.    https://www.lmii.com/143-bridge-pins-end-pins-strap-buttons

Thank you everyone. I think they look good (and took a little brightness off as I was hoping)! The fit is near perfect. I only had to take a little material off the skirt to get the pins to fully seat for the wound strings.
