Hey, I just received a late Christmas gift from the parents and I love it. I got custom bridge pins for my Taylor 210. We found this company located in England who was willing to make pins spelling out my name, Johnny. The company was ironically called PINZ. They look awesome and make the guitar look even better.

Feel free to contact me as to questions about how I ordered them.

Not my sort of thing really. Im happy with a abalone/pearl dot myself but each to his own.

Thats funny but I have to agree with adds

[adds]

i think it's a nice little addition. i like my acoustics plain too but i think this is bettre than over the top abalone inlays on rosettes and the fretboard etc.

Oh i like that. The whole tree of life loads of inlay all over it thing. Im one of the few that liked the D100 delux. A guitar can look good to me simple or highly decorated. Flashys good sometimes

I figured that anything would be an improvement over the plain cheap plastic that comes standard on the Taylor 210.

I find it really bad that these big companys charge charge you thousands for there guitars and dont even give you decent bridge pins. They still give you crap plastic things. Its not even like a nice set of wooden ones cost alot especialy when there guitars are so over priced as it is.

i know adds, it's the way it goes though.


i was thinking about replacing mine purely because if it is stolen a thief is unlikely to know the pins are different from a regular J-45. would be an extra thing to identify it by.

Or you could just look at the serial number .

yeah, i have them written down. if someone rips it off and sands down the headstock though it's hard to prove it was my guitar.

unfortunately im thinking that if someone thinks to do all of that extra work, they will find a way to get the bridge pins out and change them

Your missing his point somewhat.

[annoying_2001]

well,

i have to say that there's nothing wrong w/ personalizing your guitar, but it's something that i probably wouldn't do either (that's not to take away from what you like-to each his own).

and as far as sanding headstocks down, that's just fu*kin mean.....

You might want to take a magic-marker and write your name or initials on the inside of the guitar on the under-side of the top where it doesn't show. (An old guitar I bought supposedly belonging to an old bluesman was authenticated by his daughter for me by looking inside the body with her make-up compact mirror. He had written his initials CJW on the underside of the top in lipstick sixty-five years earlier.) Having that in your guitar (or something like that, your drivers-license or phone-nimber, etc) would be a sure way to positively identify the stolen guitar as having been yours.

I could dig my name on my bridge pins but I don't have bridge pins as my Acoustic is an ovation. Cool idea though!
