I’ve been playing for 2 years with my Yamaha F310 guitar. It does an amazing job, but i am quickly outgrowing it i feel. What would be a good upgrade? For reference, i’m a fingerstyle songwriter, so i would need a very all rounded guitar. My apologies as i dont have an estimated budget at the moment- this is more a future plan.

I will definitely check next time :) i had never thought about the pins being allocated for different strings. I have restringed my low E as you have described and for now everything seems okay! Thank you ever so much i think that my B string lost tune so quickly as i didnt have the low E on, and there was very different tension on the guitar! Thank you again

I dont know if this helps clear anything up but i just tried bending the B string again and though it does lose tune it isnt as drastic as before

Thank you for your reply! I do usually aim to put my strings in like this, yes. Often, restringing is not a difficult ordeal and may only take -5 minutes. Admittedly, though, i dont think i did pull up much while putting in the new E string as i was very panicky at the time. It might also be useful to note that my D string’s bridge pin has always been much higher than the others, but im yet to have any problems with it, luckily. Im just very uncertain about why my B string is so temperamental at the moment. I’m worried that i may have caused some permanent damage to the head of my guitar

I am a guitar player of 2 years. I have used the same Yamaha F310 throughout. It is an acoustic guitar. Today, my low E string randomly ‘popped’ and unwinded itself near the bridge pin... more accurately it almost stretched itself out. The change in tension made the string completely loose. When i decided to restring it, i noticed the tuner felt loose, and took some labour to turn. It slipped a few times before getting into tune. After noodling for a bit, i went for a full bend on my B string and it dropped 2 whole tones in tune. This continued on the same string. Is my guitar broken?? It could be placebo but the action felt a bit funny after i restringed too. For context, i am a very ambitious player. I play percussive fingerstyle guitar, and i bend excessively. I do all my bends on the B string generally. I am in need of urgent advice as i practice non stop and do not want to take a break from my passion. All support is very appreciated.
