jjrpilot Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I know the size's tend to be a little all over the place but can anyone tell me what size of pins I would need to order to fit my 2017 J45 Standard? Colosi lists the following sizes: 1T, 1.3T, or 2A Any help would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Having ordered several sets in different sizes from Mr Colosi I have found that none of them are the best fit when ordered from his pin-size-to-builder guide. Not his fault......Gibson and others are just not that consistent when it comes to pin hole boring/reaming. I've taken to ordering the largest under-head diameters and sanding them for a perfect fit. The last set I ordered for the blue Hummingbird were 0.225" under the head and fit perfectly without sanding........none of Bob's listed Gibson sizes are that large. Buy them oversized and work them down to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul14 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 My 2005 J-45 took 2A. However I have to agree with Buc on this one. I wouldn’t assume anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozz Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Size 2A Colosi pins fit perfectly in my 2015 J45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 If you like great PLASTIC pins... elderly and bernunzio both sell Antique Acoustic pins. I like these, and sometimes ebony pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
