The problem seems to have solved itself. I still can't tell why the string wasn't attaching itself correctly, but that's in the past. :wink:]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Musus https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/problem-changing-strings-pegs-too-loose/#post-154199 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/problem-changing-strings-pegs-too-loose/#post-154185 Tue, 24 Jan 2006 19:53:12 +0000 use that opportunity to clean .
storing a guitar w/o strings would be a problem.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/problem-changing-strings-pegs-too-loose/#post-154185 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/problem-changing-strings-pegs-too-loose/#post-154146 Tue, 24 Jan 2006 14:13:46 +0000 The only danger of removing all the strings is that the bridge will fall apart/off. This only applies, as far as acoustic guitars are concerned, to instruments with floating bridges and, as yours, has pins, you don't have on of those. So, no need for worry.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/problem-changing-strings-pegs-too-loose/#post-154146 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/problem-changing-strings-pegs-too-loose/#post-154144 Tue, 24 Jan 2006 13:45:37 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance Musus https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/problem-changing-strings-pegs-too-loose/#post-154144 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/problem-changing-strings-pegs-too-loose/#post-154082 Tue, 24 Jan 2006 04:32:19 +0000

This is my second guitar. I've changed strings on my previous guitar lots of times but I've never had this problem before. This is the first time I try to restringing this guitar.

Could I have damaged the plastic pegs when I pulled them out? They look fine to me.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Musus https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/problem-changing-strings-pegs-too-loose/#post-14888
