problem stringing my guitar?
I had to restring my acoustic guitar, and everything was going fine (I started with the high E string, but whatever) until I got to my low E string. I put the new one in the peg, but for the life of me the peg will not stay in place. Is this normal? this is the first time I have restringed a guitar. is something damaged? I looked at the peg and it didnt semm damaged, and I can put it into the guitar without the string and it will hold, but with the string it wont stay in when I pull on the string. if there are any tricks to this I would love to know.

It may need a little pressure to stay down (bridge pin)
E-string completely off
Put bottom in, put pin in
String top in
Hold pin down w/ right hand
With left hand, tighten string
The tension should hold the pin down
My low E did the same thing until I did this
Hope this helps

Sounds like you are either using to big of a gauge strings or the peg itself is stripped. Easy and cheap fix.

try giving the string a little more slack than you did the first time when you tried to put the peg in... should do the trick.
