How to measure your bridge pins
If your guitar has been repaired, or you just want to be sure, measuring one pin takes a minute.
Pull one pin that fits well
Loosen that string first, then lift the pin out with a pin puller or a cloth so you don’t mark the bridge.
Measure just under the collar
Use a digital caliper that reads to 0.001″, at the top of the shaft where it meets the head. No caliper? A millimetre ruler will get you close (Crosby pins are about 5.3 mm across), but sizes differ by fractions of a millimetre, so a caliper is best.
Compare with the chart
Crosby pins are size 1T: a 3° taper, 0.210″ (5.33 mm) at the top.
| Size | Taper | Top diameter | Crosby pins |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1T | 3° | 0.210″ (5.33 mm) | Our size |
| 1.3T | 3° | 0.205″ (5.21 mm) | Snug; may need light sanding |
| 2C | 5° | 0.215″ (5.46 mm) | Fits, sits a little lower |
| 2A | 5° | 0.220″ (5.59 mm) | Sits lower; may be loose |
| 2A.223 / 2A.230 | 5° | 0.223–0.230″ (5.66–5.84 mm) | Too loose |
Bridge pin sizes by guitar brand
Factory sizes from pin makers’ published charts. A guitar that’s been repaired may differ, so measure if you’re unsure.
