Re-stringing mah guitar.

[TheOriginalJames]

Finally decided to do it... and I have one string I can't get out. The only way I've been able to do it is using a tiny screwdriver to push them out the back. Is there any tool I can get that will push them out easier?

I have one string that won't freaking come out.

lol finally? You should do at least every few months

Are we talking acoustic or electric?

Well if you're not going to use the string again, personally I'd use some wire cutters and a pair of pliers.

^^^ Works fine

I think I understand better what you mean now I'm not so drunk\hungover, I presume it's electric? And you can't get the string out of the back. So is it stuck in the bridge saddles?

If you have floating bridge system it's real easy to whip the whole bridge off, and you can get a good look at whatever may be jamming the string. Reseat any saddles that may be wonky etc

I just remember my younger brother restringing his guitar for the first time. Hilarity ensued lol.

?? what?

There's a hole that the string is strung through and there is a ball on the end to hold it into the head, I can pull the string off the head of the guitar but can't push it out the bridge. Cutting it won't do anything for me.
