All Black Tusq parts are incredible!
Bought these along with the nut and bridge saddle for my Washburn Rover and they made it come alive. Feels and sounds like a whole new guitar. Corrected my intonation and string spacing, the presence and sustain is 10x what it was, and it's like a brand new guitar! Went from feeling like a toy to feeling like a real guitar. I've never been more impressed with guitar parts as I am with the Black Tusq.Read full review...

Tusq Bridge Pins
After reading several pro reviews, I decided to give these a try. I replaced the pins that came on my Yamaha FG800 with the black pins with pearl dots. I had just recently replaced the plastic nut and saddle with bone and that really brought out the sound so figured replacing the stock pins with these would be barely noticeable. Wrong !! Adding these pins was like threading the strings into the wood of the guitar. Not only did the tone pick up but I can actually feel each string vibrating the top of the guitar. All I can say is try these. You won't be disappointed.Read full review...

Tusq is really nice
I lost the MOP inlay on one of my ebony bridge pins and replaced them with a set of Tusq bridge pins. These things are so hard that when they clank together they sound like porcelain. They seem to really shine in a drop d tuning. I am unsure if I prefer them over bone, the jury is still out on that. Way better than plastic but not better, just different, than ebony or bone. They look terrific.Read full review...

Make sure which size you need for your bridge
I ordered the traditional bridge pins. Those are the small ones and those didn't work. Then I ordered the presentation size and they are awesome...opened up the sound on this new AAA European spruce top on this $3200 guitar. Most other guitars like Taylor, Taks lower end guitars will have these to really help their sound. These beat the heck out of the ebony bridge pins on this guitar. Just make sure of the size you need. :)Read full review...

Never Used A Graphtec Product I Didn't Love!
I use their string trees, nuts, saddles, and bridge pins. Everything is top quality. Everything is permanently lubricated, of uniform density. Drop their products from a few inches onto a counter or table top. Now, take the original part that you've decided to replace and do the same thing with it. The difference in sonic resonance and brightness will be immediately obvious. AND, unless you absolutely beat the living hell out of it, it'll last forever.
I just can't see any down-side to using Graphtec products.
Oh, by the way, I'm using these particular bridge pins in my Taylor 210e dlx Acoustic.Read full review...

Over priced

Tusq...Exceptional Value
Used them on my old Fender acoustic made in Japan dreadnought. Made it sound like it was made in America where it should've been made. I won't guarantee these here bridge pins will make you Korean, Indonesian or China-man made guitars sound like they was made in America but they'll definitely help.Read full review...

Martin
I got the wider shafted pin for a Martin D10e. Still a little loose until the strings pull up against the bridge. Adds overtones and sustain. The black matches the binding and the pearl matches the inlaid fretboard markers and soundhole. Sharp looking and tone enhancing.Read full review...

Best choice
Compared to the stock plastic pins, ebony, and brass, the TUSQ bridge pins result in the best guitar tone.
