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?

This is really cool to see. This is a question that many players might give the newbie some grief over, but y’all are Johnny-On-The-Spot with helpful, nonjudgmental responses.

Four of them within 10 minutes of this post. This is some solid neighborly business right here.

Y’all are good people!

This is right on the money, and it makes me proud of my fellow musicians. But isn't it a sad commentary on the general state of social media that common human decency, as displayed in this thread, feels kind of special and rare?
