bigtim Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Well thanks for all of your replies. I went ahead and purchased a set of ebony pins. This is for my little Taylor 214. At least it will look prettier if it doesn't help the tone anyway!! On another note I made a new to me purchase of a Larrivee OM-03 guitar. Was in a local music shop used. Have heard of the name brand but never saw one in person. I fell in love with it. This is the mohagany version. Well made, plays awesome and sounds nice. I cannot put it down. It plays so nice. It has a wide neck for an acoustic. But is still(to me) very easy to play. It isn't as bright as the little Taylor i have though. But that is fine with me. It happens to have some kind of bone bridge pins. Edited April 23, 2021 by bigtim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) I played one used Larrivee in a Mom and Pop shop I go to, but I am not sure what model it was. It was a really nice guitar. I think it was RW back and sides. I remember the back looking really nice. I've never had bone pins on any guitar. Mine either came mostly with plastic or one with ebony.

merciful-evans Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 This discussion has made me feel cheap. I grumbled at paying 50p (half a £1) for a spare bridge pin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they sound better, but to me they look better than plastic (too me least). Here is a bunch of guitars all with ebony pins. The 41 has been traded for a HD-28V. The HD-28V, D-35 and 00-18 are not in the pic. As promised, HD-28V, D-35 and 00-18. All with ebony pins. Edited April 23, 2021 by Sgt.

gdecantoo Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Any do-it-yourselfers interested in making your own pins, inlays etc., I have a few pieces of what I believe to be Ebony if any one is intrested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
