Here is another guitar tip and trick. This time I showed how to prevent the bridge pins from lifting out of acoustic guitar bridge when tightening the string tension. I also explained what causes the flying bridge pins.

This is my first time restringing my guitar. I'm kinda paranoid for awhile ago because I thought it might pop and snap on me lol 😂 I used to have my dad fix it for me and now that he was gone, I gotta teach myself by watching these vids. Thank you so much!

I've played for over 55 years and never had pins as loose as on my new Gibson Songwriter! I'm used to friction holding pins in place. Bending the bottom of the string solved my problem. Never heard of it, and I teach guitar!! Thanks!!

Thank you so much for pointing this out! I was just changing my strings and had this problem. You helped me to see the error of my ways. I was putting the ball end under the pin, and always had the string slip a little while tuning it up the first time. I've been doing it the wrong way for years!

Does a lifted bridge pin affect the sound? I have a brand new fender 115 and the bridge pin on the thickest string came up about an eight or so the very first time I adjusted it. 3 or 4 of the 6 strings emit a sound that is reminiscent of an empty 5 gallon plastic bucket bouncing on a hardwood floor. Nice video by the way💯

@Edwin-E 3 жыл бұрын

Maybe the ball end of the strings are not touching the bridge plate which is causing knocking sound or vibration.

@markharwood7573 9 ай бұрын

I put the string just barely into the hole so that the pin pushes it right in. No slippage. I also put a cloth over the bridge as the string is being tightened because I still never trust the pin not to jump out. Thanks for the advice about bending the string.

Thanks! My guitar is constantly getting out of tune. It’s probably because of the pins, I’ve noticed that they’re not 100% flush to the bridge. They are not the original ones and probably too small. I’ve lately realized they come in different sizes, which is not that evident on the packaging.

@Edwin-E 4 ай бұрын

You're welcome. Yes, sometimes the sizes are not identical.

@codyhowell4543 2 ай бұрын

My guitar is old and was used by someone else for quite a while before I ended up with it. The bridge pins holes are all bored out from many, many, previous string-changes. I recently changed the strings, and I can't even get the guitar in tune without the pins coming out. I tried putting them in backwards because it is tighter fit that way. They still pop right out. I think I just need bigger diameter pins or a new bridge at this point.

@Edwin-E 3 жыл бұрын

If you have done this properly, I am guessing that the bridge plate inside the guitar is already worn out. You can check inside the hole with a mirror or camera.

I have a guitar with a very worn bridge, the strings have cut into the bridge, I put cheap fake pearls. I string the pearls through the wire then you have to insert the string through the inside of the guitar. that guitar string is not going to move at all. you can trim the pins for better fit, but they are there only for looks. I can't remember where I learned this quick fix.

So do I take off the top of the guitar to make sure that the ball is secure with the pin and then use glue to put the top back on

Easier to just drill a hole in the back.

Sir my string is just not going in the holes what do i do??(holes are quite small and the string's little round is big)

@Edwin-E 10 ай бұрын

Three options: 1. Don't use that strings set on your guitar, 2. Make the hole a little bigger, 3. Insert the other end of the strings from the inside and let the ball end lock in it's place under the bridge. I suggest, option 3 is the best. I hope this helps.

@Edwin-E 3 жыл бұрын

When the bridge pin breaks, you can push it from the inside. Make sure that there is no tension on the string. It could help to push the string inward to unlock it.

I had an acoustic for 6 years and never really played it at all so I decided to set it up and deep clean it and I kept having this problem...I wish I seen this video 20mins ago...because I ended up just holding the pins down while re-tuning. So I couldn't really use any string locking method I use on my electrics because I only have 2 hands lmao. Atleast I know next time.

Why do you need to remove the bridge? If your problem is just stuck bridge pin, then you can push it out from the inside.
