Nice idea.....

I thought about doing something similar but if you you change string gauges then the fit gets messed up.

whats the idea ?

i see the 1-6 notches , but why would a man worry about which pin went into which hole ? (teehee)

seriously though , why worry ?

I rarely take 'em all out at once, but when I do, thats a good idea Wily.

 

Thanks. . B)

 

 

 

@BB - With wood pins, they can get a bit worn and then fit best in the particular pin-hole they've been worn in - for us OCD guys.

It is recommended by many folk to use the same pin for each string when re-stringing. The pins will acquire different wear patterns from the relative thickness of each string, and using the same pin for the relative string will give you a better fit..and less wear I guess. As BK says

 

I write on my white pins which string it's for.

Well, I used to fix them on scotch tape to keep them organized....but this seems better. Maybe not for factory built guitars, but some smaller boutique luthiers actually fit the pins to the holes, so might be agood idea to keep them in line. Also, I got some Colosi pins that usually come oversized, and I sanded them down to fit each hole, so that would be a good idea for after market pins too!

I just line them up in order on the surface in front.

In seldom cases they tumble like cones, most of the time they behave -
