Stiffy Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I removed 5 strings out of this strat but the hi E is jammed in the block and won't budge! I even snipped it short and use the needle nose to wiggle it and push out, but no luck what so ever! It's totally locked in the whammy block.

Nitefly SA Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 from the ball end of the low E string measure out about 5 or 6 inches cut it off, feed that into the high e hole from the front, this should push the ball/remainder of the string out of the back.

marksound Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I hate when that happens. Definitely do the cut off low E thing. Also, anything thin enough to fit in the hole that won't bend easily will work. Thin dowel, piece of coat hanger, small baitfish, etc. Just be careful and don't break anything off in there. Especially the fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiffy Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Unfortunately the big E didn't work not stiff enuf. I completely dismantled the bridge from the block. Held it in my hand and rammed it real hard 3 times with a stiff thick coat hanger and it popped out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
