Second day with the my guitar and this happened...Thanks for the fix

Thanks for the tip. I have a 12 string that is all wonky. Gotta fix several uneven pins.

That's a great idea to shave it off the pin. Thanks!

Thank you very much Ben, your video was extremelly helpful for me right this minute since I had the same issue replacing the strings on my acustic guitar.

Excellent fix! Much obliged! 🕊

Oh god thank you.. bought new pins and I was like did I f*** it up thank you :)

Thank you finally some told us what to do 🙏🏻

my bridge pins are too hard to remove (i was changing my strings) what do i do?

Reaming the holes would be a better fix but does require a speciality tool.

Great video, thanks

Why does the bridge pin lift ? I have a similar problem in my guitar for the E string

Thanks for the video sharing..👍

What’s the max amount that’s ok for the bridge pins to be sticking out a little ? Is 2/16 to much ?

good one!

I hate to say it but.......thinking caps on. If the pins aren't of military uniformity, that's really no big deal at all - it's just OCD. What matters is that they seat firmly and hold the string. If a pin goes all the way in right up to the "shoulder" with the string in place, it's too small. Trimming them to get the pin "right down" is a mistake. Using a reamer is a much worse mistake. They should sit a little "proud", maybe a couple of millimetres but "how much" or "Are they all in line?" doesn't matter. If it sits a little proud, you know it's filling the tapered hole and is seated firmly - holding the string. If it ain't.....you don't know what it's doing. If it seats right to the shoulder, it's too small. To put a string on. Put the ball end at the top of the hole and push it down with the pin. Hold the pin in place, give the string a bit of a sharp tug to ensure the ball end is on the bridge reinforcing plate inside the guitar - not on the end of the pin or floating around inside the guitar. It seats the pin with enough tension and everything where it should be. You should then be able to forget about the bridge end, carry on with all the rest of it without any pins popping up, loud bangs or sudden loss of string tension when tuning to pitch - all that kind of thing. If not, the pins are probably not original, changed for cosmetic reasons, seeking a different sound, replacing just one that has broken, lost etc. Generally, it's better to seek different pins than shell out for a reamer - you can get after-market pins all over the place, there's a link here to do just that without messing your favourite guitar around. It's going to be very, very unusual that a guitar in your hands needs any attention to the pin holes.

Thank you!!!!

Mine has this problem - not seated all the way down as the others do. I noticed buzzing at the bridge pin/hole... is it because of the pin not seated fully??

Good video bro !!! Very well done 👍

I had like this with ALL pins. I used a nailfile to enlarge the hole abit. Was wat to snug fit .
