My first guitar string snapped and it launched a small circular pin somewhere. I looked up how to restring guitar strings and other peoples stringboard look different than how mine is set up. the pins I have aren't long and straight they are small circular things fitted into a small hole in the wood. What are these kinds of pins called? Can I upgrade to standard guitar pins?

I remember starting basically everything I've ever done in my life with just the dumbest questions you could possibly ask. I think it's important to remember those times and take it easy on new folks. No one ever progresses past that point if they get shot down the second they ask their first question.

There is no such thing as a dumb question, just people too dumb to ask or an ever dumber person who refuses to answer. This is how we learn.
