Why pull it out?

You can tighten it by holding it from turning with a standard screwdriver stuck in the hole. The same screwdriver can be used to tighten the contact by pulling it back towards center.


If you really want to pull it out, loosen the nut and fashion tools from a coat hanger to remove it through the center of the f-hole.

It may be a soldering issue so I may have to go fishing.

Just like an y fishing trip, you'll need a supply of cold ones.

Good luck.

they're always biting in that little area under the soundhole.
