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?
Those pins come on the end of guitar strings, so there’s no need to replace it. When you get new strings, you’ll basically just slide the unfinished end through the hole there and then pull it through until the pin catches.
