Acoustic Problem....
Went to the music store yesterday and got a few packs of acoustic strings. I was in the process of changing my strings and put the low E string on and was tightening the string and the bridge pin kept slipping out and the string would detune. So I pushed the bridge pin back in and tightened the string again and the bridge pin popped out again and again. I couldn't remember what gauge of strings were on the guitar before because its been so long since I put strings on it, so not thinking, I got some heavier gauge strings. I also noticed that the low E string was to thick at the end to fit the string into the groove of the bridge pin (just on the low E string). I'm wondering what the deal is. Could the string gauge I'm installing be to much for the guitar? Do I need new bridge pins? Perhaps new bridge pins with a bigger groove dow the side of the bridge pin? The guitar is an older Hohner model so I've also considered perhaps maybe its just so old that the bridge pin slots are stripped out or something?.... any thoughts? I'm just trying to make this acoustic playable til I can purchase another.

fender wide range hb's
i played a '72 tele in the store. i love the tone it had. does fender sell the wide range humbuckers that are on it? does anyone know what type of magnet is used? and if fender doesnt sell the pickup, does any aftermarket pickup company make one thats exactly the same?

Livewire wiring question
I have a Livewire Hot for Strat. When I got it, it was in (big surprise) a Strat. I pulled it out yesterday to put in a Red Lace, and noticed that there were 250k pots in place. I know that the Livewires are supposed to use 100k pots. Wired with the 250k, the pickup was still very hot, but I don't know what it's supposed to sound like.

Gibson Firebird Truss Rod Cover
This is a genuine Gibson Firebird cover, new and unused. It is single layer black with the Gibson logo in gold. Perfect for upgrading that Epiphone Firebird or whatever.

Bare knuckle Warpig and Duncans
Looking at the Bare Knuckle Warpig and listening to a soundclip, I have to say I'm very interested. Like an Invader with more articulation and a little more musical with the A5 instead of ceramic (not to mention no huge hex screw heads). But even a gear-whore like me isn't paying over $200 USD for a single pickup.
