Blue Jay,
I used to install the strings as you recommended, but since I discovered the ball ens at the winding pegs trick, I feel that is far superior; give it a try sometime! :)
gnease I never called them "dikes" :shock:
but we did call them "diags" - die -ags :lol:
most people are are too lazy to say di-ags, kat, hence dikes (not that there's anything wrong with that)

I know them as side snips. Must be a regional thing. :wink:

I've got one of those. They are great. But it's supposed to have a bridge pin puller and I've never been able to figure out where it is. If you know can you explain please?
:)

That's good, and also funny IMO, my di-ags, or diagonal string cutters are also my acoustic bridge pin pullers! Ouch? :shock: :lol:

Hey, I found it.
It's on the inside of this part of the gizmo:
Works great!

I really wish I'd got one of these years ago. But the first time I used it, I'd wind a string, then put it down and look around wildly searching for my missing plers. Took a little getting used to, but having everything you need in one tool is awesome. Seriously good buy, imho. But some reviews say using a new fangled all-in-one device like this will compromise your tone and that vintage pliers give you more sustain. Personally, I can't hear the difference though. :roll:
Coolnama hasn't posted on this thread for bit. I hope his sibling is okay. :shock: :lol:
I am at my uncle so lil sis will have to wait, I will soon torture my cousin :D
Well I didn't cut the ball ends O_O I just sticked it in the hole and closed it o.o

The only place I've heard 'em called "dikes" is in the USA.
Confused the heck out of me for the first week of a training course I was on in Dallas. :roll:

So I looked like I was deep
