Ivory Bridge Pins

Leonard Musical Instruments is proud to announce the availability of Elephant Ivory Bridge Pins.  These pins are an elegant complement to our Africana Loxodonta (Kenyan Elephant Ivory) Nut and Saddle blanks.  Now you can have Elephant Ivory throughout the ENTIRE TONE PATH for the ultimate in that Vintage Mojo for your cherished favorite instrument.  These pins, like our nuts and saddles are made from traceable, certified pre-ban Elephant Ivory and are legal for use in the entire United States of America.  They CANNOT be exported.  These pins are initially available for both Martin and Gibson guitars, and other makes and models that are compatible with these pin specifications.  These pins are the Real Deal Vintage Mojo for your fine musical instrument.  These are THE ONLY ELEPHANT IVORY BRIDGE PINS being made anywhere, to our best knowledge.

 Pin #1 (Slotted)

Black Ebony Dot Inlay

Abalone Dot Inlay

Pin #1 is used for Vintage Martin guitars that were made before 1994 (except the HD-28), also Blanchard, Garrison, Goodall, Ryan, Santa Cruz and Taylor guitars.  3 degree tapered shaft.  These also work with Collings guitars made prior to 2002.  These pins are .210 just below the skirt.  Available with plain heads or either a black ebony or abalone dot inlay.

 Pin #2 (Slotted)

Black Ebony Dot Inlay

Abalone Dot Inlay

Pin #2 is for Modern Martin guitars and all Gibson guitars.  5 degree tapered shaft.  These pins are .220 just below the skirt.  Available with plain heads or either a black ebony or abalone dot inlay.

Please inquire about special order pin sets for HD-28 Martin Guitars.  We can also provide unslotted pins for those True Vintage applications where a slotted bridge is used.  Luthier installation is HIGHLY recommended for conversions from slotted pins to unslotted pins with a slotted bridge.  This DOES make a big difference in your tone.  Please check with your manufacturer about warranty considerations before doing this conversion.
