I’m not having the best luck with the search feature. I have a 2021 M20 and want to replace the bridge pins. I have a few different bone and ebony sets but they are all to large. I know I could sand them down but would rather buy some that fit correctly from the get go. I’d like to keep the expenditure under $30.00. I do think unbleached bone would look nice with the dark mahogany but i’m Pretty open. Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest pulling one of the originals and taking measurements of the collar diameter and length. Someone at Guild (or here) should be able to tell you what the correct taper (3/4/5 degrees?) is. Then you could hunt or go to Bob Colosi with your quest, where if you scroll down past saddles you'll see measurement guidelines to help you.

Welcome, @JLILL. Since your guitar is a recent model, you could ask at guildguitars.com about replacement specs. Guild has a set of bone bridge pins that it says are for U.S.-made guitars, but they don't list the M-20 specificially as a compatible model.

From what I can tell, those pins are listed for a couple of bigger bod guitars. Shame on Guild for not having all parts available.
I have a 2018 Oxnard M-20 and went through similar search for non-plastic pins. I found several references saying 1.3T (aka 1.3) pins would work so I gave them a try. Work perfectly on my M-20. I bought bone 1.3 pins from Maury’s Music, and later tried the ebony pins from Maury’s. I preferred the bone.
