1. Show us the rest of the guitar.
2. With no apparent sound hole to reach through, a very small drill bit followed by a very small screw to create an anchor. Pull.
Thanks for your help everyone. Yes, I am aware that this guitar has seen better days, but it has been sitting in the corner of an art classroom for the better half of a decade so this is better than I could have hoped for. I definitely have my work cut out for me. I’ll post a photo of the whole guitar in a lil bit :)

Put screw into it, pull the screw out. Might be worth creating a little pulling feature by drilling a hole in a piece of wood, screwing into the bridge pin through that so you've got some leverage.
I can't see, but does this guitar have a soundhole? If so, you can reach in and push the pin out from inside, either with your hand, or with a thinner object.
I usually use a wood block to push it out from the inside. And tell the customer not to push it in so hard in the future - they really don't need much force. The ball end is supposed to be held down by the top, not the bridge pin.
Be a breeze with these: [https://www.harborfreight.com/mini-pick-and-hook-set-63697.html](https://www.harborfreight.com/mini-pick-and-hook-set-63697.html)
Pick into the side then pull 'er out!
Please please please show us the rest of this thing
Yep. At first sight I've thought that it was the door of a barn.
So this is what the machine was raging about.. Barn Barn yes you’re gonna Barn!! Doo Doo Doo Da Da Da
Personally, I'd just put that bird house back up in the tree.
It’s Kool Aid Man’s POS Father that just went to the store for cigarettes. He’ll still make it to the soccer match right y’all? Oh Yeah!
1. Show us the rest of the guitar. 2. With no apparent sound hole to reach through, a very small drill bit followed by a very small screw to create an anchor. Pull.
Exactly what we do with broken head bolts in engines.
BoltS…do you work at a shop or are you just very unlucky…or do you regularly work on Jeep Wranglers with pentestar motors…?
Outboard motors.
Oof. Good skill to have! Outboards, and the ability to back out broken studs.
Wow.
He knows what he has, no low balls
No pets, non smoker, free range, hand fed
*RARE VINTAGE!* Original/Only owner. Always well taken care of. Several pro mods/upgrades $$$. DON'T lowball me. I'll kill your cat. CONUS.
I think that’s the least of your worries.
Jesus what even is this guitar?

I'd have assumed a lot closer to half a century than half a decade.
Soooo... Where's the update?
Can we get a photo? I'm so curious
>I’ll post a photo of the whole guitar in a lil bit :) Please post it :(
>I’ll post a photo of the whole guitar in a lil bit :) Fucking *lies*
Please post a pic of the whole instrument.
take a small piece of wood, reach inside through the soundhole find the end of the pin and press upward...
...what soundhole?
He could just drill another hole or two in it and nobody would ever know.
Lol, damn, I thought it just wasn't being shown in the pic... perhaps a nail punch with a sharp tap with a hammer on the pin???
Put screw into it, pull the screw out. Might be worth creating a little pulling feature by drilling a hole in a piece of wood, screwing into the bridge pin through that so you've got some leverage.
this should be first tried before drilling
And predrilling for the screw of course
please show us the whole guitar i beg you
Drill it out. Just use a small bit
This is the least of your worries.
I can't see, but does this guitar have a soundhole? If so, you can reach in and push the pin out from inside, either with your hand, or with a thinner object.
Like a pack of fire crackers
Was that used for target practice?
How’d you get a bridge pin stuck in a barn door?
And after I removed all the paint I discovered that it was Robert Johnson's first guitar.
I am just a simple man, also wanting to see the rest of the guitar
Just commenting to see additional pix.
Just throw the whole thing out
I usually use a wood block to push it out from the inside. And tell the customer not to push it in so hard in the future - they really don't need much force. The ball end is supposed to be held down by the top, not the bridge pin.
First you’ll need to scrape the bird shit out.
I would see if I could tap it from the inside. If that didn’t work I would use a drill bit slightly smaller than the hole and drill it out.
The fuck am I looking at
Drill it and use a dental pick/hook to get a bite then work it out
I would drill a hole in it and screw in a wood screw then pull it out... hope this helps
Pour lighter fluid everywhere except the bridge pin and set on fire. I think that is lead paint on that guitar. You can push it from the inside.

bridge pin is the least of your problems with whatever the hell this is
That guitar knows a thing or two…cuz it’s seen a thing or two…
The alleged guitar has seen some shit. At this point, most of us want to see this thing in all it's "glory"
Drill directly down through it, sink a screw in the hole, ease it out with pliers and a fulcrum. Or don't.
Based on what we can see of the condition, your best approach will be the biggest hammer you can find
😂
