ABSTRACT:
A compact tool for removing guitar bridge pins is disclosed, which includes a housing and an active swing arm having a metal capture notch at the free end for receiving the head of the pin requiring removal. The tool is preferably made of machined steel, and the capture notch has a three-sided configuration with a lip which is configured and dimensioned to be easily positioned beneath the head of the pin, while the head of the pin sites within a recessed cavity adjacent the lip. The user conveniently grips the housing to apply the requisite force to remove the pin from the bridge of the guitar. While the three-sided lip is preferably made of a strong metal such as steel, hardened aluminum, zinc or the like, other materials are contemplated, provided they are strong and durable. Alternatively, the tool can be constructed in a T-Shaped configuration, incapable of folding. Still alternatively, the tool can be fabricated as a single straight one-piece device incorporating the unique three sided capture notch of the invention.
