How do Guitar Pins Work ?
Guitar Pins hook the strings‘ ball ends to the bridge plate ,which is located under the bridge . ...... Actually , the pins hold each string’s ball and against the bridge plate located inside the guitar . The string then curves around , Passes through the Bridge , and runs over the bridge saddle .
How do you remove an end pin from an Acoustic Guitar ?
Grab under the head of the end pin (don’t squeeze) and use the nippers as a lever , pushing against a piece of 3/16” thick soft wood placed next to the pin .
Quote : I would not try to tap it out from the inside - you run the risk of pulling finish or wood with it from the exterior surface of the guitar .
Why Won’t my Bridge Pins Stay ?
When you start Winding them , hold the Strings in Place at the little groove where the headstock meets the neck so that it stays in place .Then when the String starts to keep tension on its own , you can focus on holding the Bridge pin in place . Just hold them down while you String .
