Sorry to dredge up an old thread but what brass pins are those? They look good. My brother put brass pins in his Fender but the diameter is too large and they stick out a lot. Yours seem to fit well.

I've changed out all three of my Taylors from the ebony (wood) pins to:
1. Buffalo horn

3. Follisized Walrus tusk.

Haven't noticed a sound difference. I believe the brass has added a wee bit more sustain, not scientific though but it seems that way.

Major difference for me is looks.

The walrus pins, I believe look very nice on my new Jumbo.



Here's a couple of picks of the brass pins.




And the buffalo pins are black with MOP dots and look very much like the ebony pins from Taylor.
