We often get asked about removing the pegs on an acoustic guitar, so we'd like to share with you a couple of ways to do so. 1) Wire cutters. The neat thing about this method is that it provides a nice little "cup" to help pull the peg out. Any markings on the peg are hidden.... 2) Pliers. This is the easiest way of the three we have. Allows you to get a grip on the peg and pull it out. Down side is that it'll leave a mark on your pegs. 3) String Winders. Most winders nowadays will have a peg slot to help with pulling out pegs. However each brand is different. Some peg slots will be smaller than the pegs on the guitar itself.

These would make a fine addition to anyone's collection.

Today's guitar highlights. We had the pleasure of working on an Epiphone Wildkat Royale and a Martin acoustic. Both given a new set of strings to take on their next musical adventure.

The ABS composite bodies of the Kala Waterman are perfect for the classrooms and the water... man.
