Does anyone know of someone who can do small but quality runs of custom spec pins for a very special project? I had tried PM'ing Louis Freilicher after Hesh's thread a couple years back but no reply.

Thanks in advance!

Tony I got a 50 piece set of ebony end pins with ab dots from a fellow in china (hong kong) for $40 last year. He is a seller on e- bay usa guitar parts, he also sells assorted ebony bridge pins. If you asked him , he might be able to do a run of 50. His price is negotiable, and his english is poor , so a diagram would be in order. I believe there are other sellers as well there from india, where I got my ebony bridge pins w MOP dot cheers ernie

You could try Bill Wise at Cheris (sp?) guitars, he makes buttons, might make pins.

Tony,

I do make these, usually a set or two here or there for people who need something very specific but I have done larger runs too. I am a little backed up at the moment but if your lead time is not super tight I would be glad to help.
