I experiment a lot with bridge pins, but I have yet to try titanium. I have found that some look like a million bucks but sound like crap, and some look like crap and sound like a million bucks. I am still looking...great thread for those of us afflicted with Bridgepin fever.

Jaybee1404>> Mike, does your D-28 have a bridge with slotted pin-holes?
Yes... Thinking about your question made me go look at the specs at Martin's web page... they were there a day or so ago... it is like their "discontinued" section is gone now  ... so I looked the specs up at Maury's:BRIDGE & END PINS: Bone w/ Black Dots I don't see how my deformed bridge pins could be bone, is bone elastic or brittle? I looked over on UMGF and a fellow who got a new one when they were new said: I just got my new Authentic and I love this thing. I changed out strings and noticed that the pins are fairly pliable plastic, somewhat bent and twisted Mike McLenison>> Whatever you choose make sure the taper is correct. My wife has a set of calipers, I'm going to make sure one or the other of the ones I ordered seem right before I use them... EDIT: I'm still going to measure  but I just finished reading the UMGF thread Ireferred to above, and someone mentioned more pin specs there which I just compared to the specs on the waverlys I ordered, and the standard waverlys match what he said... -Mike Last edited by hubcapsc; 01-29-2021 at 09:04 AM.

Mike, there was no indication in your post that your guitar is an Authentic - if there had been I wouldn’t have asked the question! A D-28 is a different beast to a D-28A in many ways - as I’m sure you’re aware!

They're pretty different ...Somehow "my 1931 Authentic D-28" sounds like "my fancy-schmancy Superior D-28" when I'm just talking, but when we're writing stuff down here it pays to be specific... -Mike

BEWARE : ALL pins are not EXACTLY the same size.
I fell to the floor when I happened to discover that !
