I did that on a Santa Cruz FS. Literally 20 minutes after I pulled it out of the box. I still don’t want to talk about it! I feel your pain buddy :-)

About removing pins, Archimedes is often quoted for "Give me a lever and a place to stand, and I can move the Earth."

I feel your pain and understand, the fact is it is going to happen it's just never easy when it does.
I don't use those to pulls bridge pins at all for that very reason.

Didn't Cat Stevens write a song about it?
'The First Scratch Is The Deepest'.

Dont use plastic winders for pulling pins. There are pin pulling tools of various kinds that are cheap. I have one from Stew Mac that you just pull up and I have a lever I got off of Ebay. I used to use the cutters I used to cut the strings. Works great but somehow sounds risky.

Sorry, Babe
I didn't have a dime I didn't take the time You'd never felt much hurt before And now you're scratched, forevermore. Sorry Babe I didn't have a quarter And things got outta order I should have been much kinder With that old plastic winder And now you're scratched, forevermore. Sorry Babe I didn't have a nickel And I've been kinda fickle I loved your glossy finish Before it was diminished And now you're scratched, forevermore.

“Knife...cuts like a knife...how will I ever live...I’m so deeply wounded...” Just an old song that came to mind that I’ve heard long time ago. But this song is an exaggeration.
If your guitar could speak. It would say, “I forgive you. I know it was an accident. Just hold me often and play me often. And please don’t sell me in the future. But if you must, I’ll understand.” This is an interesting and entertaining thread. Thanks Bain for sharing!

I’m as guilty as anyone when it comes to fetishising my guitars and feeling that pain when a pristine one gets a knock. But I also know that when I play my “beater” I feel a little freer to thrash it with no voice in my head distracting me with thoughts of how beautiful the wood is or how wonderful the craftsmanship.

..... so next time u tell how The guitar was scared begin with “I was in this bar and was chatting up this real pretty girl when her biker boyfriend and a dozen of his friends stepped in and I had to teach them a lesson....” and end with “sure the guitar got scratched but you should have seen the other guy”
