Yes, another bridge pin size thread

[schoolie]

I'm sorry to create another one I've found that 1.3T size pins fit the Oxnard guilds well, and the 4.2D pins fit the Westerly Guilds. However, the New Hartford guitars seem to have a different pin size. It's like a 1.3T but bigger:
Diameter below skirt: 0.207"
Diameter down 0.75": 0.180"
Diameter at bottom: 0.169"
Length below skirt: 0.940"

So, it seems to be closest to a 3 degree pin, but 1.3T is too loose in the hole..Anybody else tried to get pins for a New Hartford guitar and found the same?
Thanks,
Rob

Hello

Unless the fitting of pin into hole wo strings matters - think how the pin works - you insert the string ball end into hole - deep enough - put ANY stick, rod, etc into the hole - it prevents the string end coming back up.

I have used metal shelf-support-nail in my old Gibson since decades - because it was handy at the time I run out of pins . . .
