Guitar Help
 
I know it's kinda off-topic.

I'm changing my electric guitar strings, and there's one string that is like trapped in the bridge and i can't push it down to take it off.

Taking it off the neck is pretty easy but they're like trapped and i can't push them down to take it off the guitar.

Thank you.

I can't quite picture what your trying to explain. Wow .. thats never happened to me before, as far as I remember anyway.

Sounds like it should be easy to correct.

Maybe post a picture or try describing the problem in better detail?

I think I know what you mean but I kinda need more details. Have you cut the string leaving only a small section stuck in the bridge? Is there anykind of back plate to the guitar?

What kind of bridge is it? Hard tail, or Trem?

Trapped in the bridge, is it a string through?

OP here, i actually already fixed the problem.

I'm from Argentina and i don't speak good english but ima try to explain it:

The strings have 2 endings, one with a little ball, and the other is plane.
Well, the ball is the mechanism that is used to don't let the string "escape" in a normal way.
But when you have to remove a string to replace them, you push the string in the direction that i actually entered. OK: the problem was that when i pushed the string to remove it, the string didn't remove, the ball was like "glued" to the bridge. I already got a little piece of thin metal and remove the balls with some force.

Thank you all for the help!!!
