I've done worse things for a fix of caffeine.

Beautiful burst on that guitar!
Also, now I want coffee...
This was an instance that for my D 35, I went with plain white plastic pins. They fit the plain old low budget aesthetic of a D 35. Plain bone would be good too. I revel in the budget look, especially the bearclaw that was in 1970, a very low grade top. Surprised really, that it didn't get painted over.
Now a D 55 would get ultra fancy.
But all Guilds are not the same, right?I like these Tusq "Presentation style" pins, I have one set in white and one black, both with abalone inlay. They fit my Guilds perfectly.
Yikes, this dude's offering elephant ivory w/o a single mention of ethical sourcing, just a reminder that he's not allowed to ship it out of state.I like Bob Colosi's stuff: http://www.guitarsaddles.com/

Yeah, I get that, but you'd think he'd go out of his way to make that clear -- it's a concern.Interesting point. It may be that his stocks are old and predate the various bans and controls. In state only could be his solution to the hassle factor. If it stays in state he doesn't have to provide documentation with every sale. Selling antiques a couple decades ago we ran into this. The ivory had been harvested at least a century ago (think scrimshaw) but of course we had no easy to provide proof of that. So you buy it in the shop and the documentation you need and we provide is part of the sales process.
