My first guitar string snapped and it launched a small circular pin somewhere. I looked up how to restring guitar strings and other peoples stringboard look different than how mine is set up. the pins I have aren’t long and straight they are small circular things fitted into a small hole in the wood. What are these kinds of pins called? Can I upgrade to standard guitar pins?
So these are actually just the circular retainers that come attached to the strings. Just buy a fresh string and slot it through that hole the original string was slotted through. I’d recommend you also watch some videos on restringing so you don’t inadvertently snap the new string.
