Default Best source for over=sized end pin?

Just got a fantastic guitar, but p/u was removed. I probably won't ever use a strap, but guitar seems incomplete with a hole in the end. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like you have an answer for your problem but, Taylor makes end pins for the change out from electric to acoustic end pins.

I got a used one from a guitar tech for my wife's Taylor when we decided to pull the pickup out of it.

Not sure where you can find them other than guitar shops.

Frank, I’m not seeing your back channel message.
Contact me at [email protected] if you’d like. Or try a PM to my other forum name, Rogerblair. I’ll send it out to you.
Roger

This has been my solution on a couple of guitars. Works a charm, just wish he could still source bone, although the ebony looks fine.

This reminded me that somewhere along the road, I lost the endpin for my mid 90's Larrivee (L-19). I just checked and indeed it is large - I get an opening of 7mm with calipers.

If you have another one you'd like to sell, ha ha, PM me. Hard to know if the other solutions would solve for Larrivee as this is not the result of removing an endpin/preamp.

I didn't see anything listed on the Larrivee website but I may have missed it...
