I fixed up a '60's Yamaha FG-180 acoustic for a mate of mine. He needed new bridge pins. The ones in the guitar were ebony but just didn't look right. As I believe the best pins for the job are wooden, despite others saying different, I chose these. Have to say they suit the Yamaha a lot better and blend in with the saddle. The addition of the end pin is also an added bonus as I needed. Good product and at least 35% cheaper than other music shops in my area. Anoter reason to use Thomann.
