Talking Great Fun :)

I did indeed and I have you to thank for it. The one peg I thought was too big was fine, it held with no problem. It is starting to stay in tune better and it plays like it did before.

I am happy I did this. I learned a lot. If I have any more problems with bridges I will be able to take care of it myself. The money spent for tools was worth it.

Those of us that have a low budget guitar should consider learning to do some things yourself. Plus they are great subjects to work on. Saves a lot of money in the long run.

If an old woman like me can do this pretty much anyone that wants to can.

Thanks for reading my post.

So many times I hear take it to a luthier if you don't have experience. How did the luthier get experience? Everyone has to start somewhere. Instruments that are worth less than the cost of a professional repair are a good place to start.

Thumbs up Excellent point

Exactly!! I was told to take it to a luthier, but you don't take a guitar that has been priced new as low as $100 to one.

And yep ... at one point the experience were just as green as me. That's one reason why I like buying low budget guitars I can learn how to work on them and improve them if needed.

It pays to learn set-up and minor repairs. There is a good feeling inside after fixing your own guitar.
