7
of endpin is currently installed in your guitar. It
may be a simple type, which is held in place by a
single screw. Or it may be a standard ¼” tapered
endpin, either press-fit or glued in. The glued in
type is the most difficult one to deal with and we
recommend looking for professional assistance.
• Tape the endpin hole area generously with
masking tape to protect your guitar’s finish.
SINGLE SCREW TYPE
• We recommend using a ½” (12mm) FORSTNER
drill bit to drill out the screw hole. This one
makes the nicest cut and is most gentle to your
guitar. You also may use a step-by-step method
to widen the hole to ½” (12mm). Use several
ascending size drill bits in succession. Make
sure to use self-centering drill bits (used for
metalwork) not the single-pointed drills for wood!
STANDARD ¼ TAPER PRESS FIT ENDPIN
• Pull out the endpin and use several ascending size
drill bits in succession to widen the hole step by
step. Make sure to use self-centering drill bits (used
for metalwork) not the single-pointed drills for
wood!
