Guitar Tip: Easy Bridge Pin Removal on Acoustic Guitar

In this video I gave tips on how to easily remove the bridge pins on acoustic guitar.  The tool I used here was a metal piece called bridge pin puller.  The end part is similar to the shape of the claw bar tool that is used for removing nails.  There are other tools for this job but I find this one as the easiest to use.  I showed here that the technique after releasing the tension of the strings, the string to be removed should be pushed inwards in order to release the pressure between the bridge pin and guitar bridge or guitar top.  See the video to learn more.
