                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Gsage, can you be a bit more specific? Are you talking about an acoustic guitar? Is the bridge pin popping out? If it's a 2nd-hand guitar, well, bridge pins can wear down - but they're cheap enough to replace. Make sure it's well pushed in, and aligned correctly....I usually need pliers to get my bridge pins out when changing strings! It can be a pain, but it's better than a pin popping out while you're playing!<br><br> :D  :D  :D <br><br>Vic]]></content:encoded>
