Gibson 3% bridge pins-?

[darylcrisp]

anybody know a source to replace the plastic Gibson bridge pins?

Looking for basic white bone(no dots) or black horn, 3 degree taper, i need to remeasure the shaft top and end. Having no luck finding these. slotted-stops below the skirt, my measurement is around .215 right under the skirt, but it varies between the pins from .210 on up to .220
so tonite i plan to sit down with the calipers and attempt to find the real measurement if possible-i think the pins vary a little from one to the other.

and a truss rod cover, ebony, Gibson bell shape, 2 screw.


thanks

Can't Bob Colosi set you up with those? Send him one...he'll replicate it.

I've got a set of bone pins that I bought for a Woody Guthrie SJ. I ended up selling the guitar and never used the pins. If you're interested let me know and I'll give you the dimensions.

talked with Bob earlier today and he said Gibson pin dimensions are all over the place. Typically a little larger than the other folks and he usually has to set aside oversize pins to make a group-i think thats what i understood from him. Anyhow he did not have any at the moment oversize(.215" at the skirt bottom).
