You can use 3 Degree slotted pins by simply turning them around.This was suggested to me by David Collins.I`ve done this on several sets and it works fine.LMI has a real good price on bone pins.I like the ones with the abalone dots.

Thanks for the info guys but no luck. Todd Rose: Colosi only has 5 degree unslotted Guitar Parts all slotted Burton: Steve does not list if slotted or not,might try to touch base. Todd Stock: LMI says they had them at one time but not now. Maybe not many folks use bone pins, I like them but can only come up with slotted or 5 degrees. Not fussy over 5 degrees and hate to spent the cash for another reamer. I did find unslotted bone pins by a well known supplier who says fits all guitars and does not list taper. Did someone say friday 13th....? Thanks again guys,may have to use slotted. Tom |

Tom, You might want to try Elderly. Here is the link: http://elderly.com/accessories/cats/GABG.html They show a number of sets that are unslotted. I have bought the unslotted bone pins from them before. |

Colonial's web site says they're unslotted. David Warther has made me unslotted sets. I haven't dealt with Bob Colosi, but my guess is that he would make you whatever you want as well. |

Got that about Colonial. Looked at that earlier and did not see the unslotted. Apologies to Burton. Thanks Todd. Thanks to you to Peter. Tom |
