Does anybody have any experience with the Taylor replacement endpin?

What is the diameter of your end pin/jack hole?

I chucked the StewMac pin with the sleeve in a drill press chuck and sanded it down to fit. It's a bit of a pain, but I think this is the only product on the market that will return a end pin jack hole back to just a regular end to function as a strap holder only.

Make sure you take the anchoring screw all the way off before trying to insert the pin. Also, if that works, do not over tighten the screw when anchoring the pin. The pin sleeve will snap in a minute if you over tighten. BTDT! :mad:



My 2015 412-R (no e! :D) came with one of these. It is a very nifty little device that helped make the K&K install a breeze.

I'd say it is significantly better than the Stew-Mac replacement end pin, and if I ever need another one of these this is the one I will buy.
