Hi. I have an Eastman MD505 and it looks like one of the little string hooks on the tail piece broke off.
I'm a beginner and certainly no luthier, but I'm a pretty handy guy. It looks to me that I just need to order a replacement part, take off the old strings, remove 3 screws, replace with the new tail piece, restring, and go.
Am I missing something? Is there more to it than that? Any things I should beware of? Is this an opportunity to upgrade the tail piece? Should I take it to a professional repair guy?
All advice welcome and appreciated.
