  • The slot in my low E string bridge pin is not wide enough to let a 54 guage string slide easily through the slot and when I try to tighten the string it pulls up the pin I fiddled with it now it string is stuck in the pin and I can not push the string back to realease the tension to get the pin out please HELP!!

  • @TheGearmandude You might try loosening all of the strings, reaching in the soundhole and pushing the 6th strings pin out from inside the guitar.

  • The shorter side of the saddle goes on the side of the bridge that the smallest sized string is on.

    As far as tuning goes, you should pick up an inexpensive electronic tuner so that you have a visual reference. If you have an iPhone, there's supposed to be an tuner app.

  • Glad it helped.

  • That tutorial video actually helped me.. Followed it step by step and had no problems. Also, I have that same string winder lol! Thanks a million mate!

  • @only1me666 Glad it helped... That string winder was the best 99 cents I ever spent!

  • As I tune up .. I will pass an octive or two .. right .. so how do I know which octive to stay at ?

  • Thanks for this ... for calm delivery and easy to follow .. I have two questions though:

    1) I took all my strings off for restringing .. seems that is not the way to go ..

    right ? Or is it a non-issue ?

    2) My saddle popped out .. hmmm ... It has a slope to it .. high on one end .. but now I am not sure if the high side is to the top of the guitar or the bottom .. help please ... I guess I could go to the guitar store and view other saddles and see how it slopes... up or down.

    Thanks ... pg

  • very helpfull indeed, thank you

  • @steakswans Glad it was helpful!
