I’d cry a river. My dog is likely to do this too. He’s come close a few times. Australian Shepherd who goes insane when you say ball.

@jerseychicadee crazy right? Like I said I think I broke my original ones the first time I changed the strings. I tried a little too hard to get a stuck one out.

I bought a battery operated string winder for my bid multiple guitar string change coming soon. Goldie’s in Illinois. Excited! I decided I’m going to try some Fred Kelly Bumble Bee thumb picks. We’ll see...Steve Earle makes them look easy to wear. I have some Black Mountain thumb picks but since I got my Blue Chips, I’ve abandoned those.

They sure are pretty. They look like teeth! I told my son, “she sure has a pretty mouth!”

I have a Martin Custom D that I'm going to put the bone pins in. I bought it used in 2011 and it had cheap plastic bridge pins that I never changed out. My I think my D-18 already has bone pins, but I'm not sure about that.

Yes. They look like teeth! Pretty! I put them on my Taylor which lives upstairs. I’m elated with the results. The stock bridge pins are the cheapest plastic poorly made I’ve ever seen. The stock pins on my Fender are a better quality than the stock Taylor pins for over twice the price! Shame shame shame.

Does your guitar is ok?

I finally put my new bone pins on my Taylor this morning along with a new set of Martin strings. I heard my Taylor fall during the night. Cats knocked it off the stand. Lucky I had a basket of unfolded clothes next to the stand that saved any knicks or dings. My cat has been on a tear this week. Yesterday, my son found a tree frog in my shower! More luck there because if I had seen that I would have flipped out, fallen and died right there naked in the shower! This cat brings me living creatures far too often. He’s trying to kill me I’m sure.
