I am looking to sell one of my acoustic guitars. It is a Washburn D10N. I hadn't used it in a while so it needed a new set of strings. However, when I got to changing the strings the bridge broke and when I tried to pull it out with needle nose pliers I realized that it's glued in and it's falling apart with every move I try to make. How do I fix this? I have a really low budget so I can't really give it to someone professional to fix it and I also don't have all the right tools. I got so frustrated that I considered drilling it out but I was too much of a coward to even try it, maybe that's for the best. Anyone have any ideas on how I can DIY this process without severely damaging the bridge or the guitar?
