My first guitar string snapped and it launched a small circular pin somewhere. I looked up how to restring guitar strings and other peoples stringboard look different than how mine is set up. the pins I have aren't long and straight they are small circular things fitted into a small hole in the wood. What are these kinds of pins called? Can I upgrade to standard guitar pins?
I don't think you have pins at all. It looks like you just pull the string through the hole. That 'pin' is just the end of the string. Pull a new string through and the bead will just stop there.
If you haven't changed strings before, YouTube it. It's not difficult, but it's easy to break one by going an octave to high and what not.
