Hey Guys,
I purchased a guitar its a hybrid, godin multiac steel. I wanted to replace the bridge pins with a nice pair of bone ones from stew mac. Long story short the bridge pins sit too high so they are 5 degree pins. What is even more instereting is the bridge pins that came with the guitar sit a little bit higher than my liking for a guitar and I actually broke a string yesterday I believe because of it. So I talked with a friend who is a Luthier and he recommended buying a 5 degree reamer and getting the bridge pin holes better shaped for the new bridge pins i bought.

Now I have done a few little things like installing pick ups like the Lr Baggs anthem systems where drilling is required so I am not too worried about the repair. My luthier friend also said to just go slow as the tool is sharp. Anyone have any tips for Reaming a bridge pin hole besides going slow? I am a little nervous if i will admit just because it could go wrong and cause major issues. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
