Bridge pin popout

Post by ndfilth »

I just bought a Gibson Chet SST about two weeks ago, but the bridge pin on the 6th E string keeps coming out during normal strumming. Is this gonna be a long-term problem? Should I take it back?

Why would you glue it? If the string breaks wouldnt you have a hell of time getting the pin out again?

I suggest not to glue it.

i glue mine all the time
and it works great

sometimes i sprinkle a little pixie dust on the pins before i put them back in, it gives me good luck for my shows
