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

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.

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.
