If your strings are heavy, the channel may need to be made larger to accommodate.<BR/><BR/>Your pins shouldn't be lodged in so tight that you need a major force to get them out, but just enough that the string binds them in place. With tension down, push the ball end of the string into the guitar body and pull out the pin, much like pulling a daisy on a warm spring afternoon.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
