Umm, hi. I need to know what the little things are that hold the guitar strings in the bridge. Oh and I also need to know if I can purchase these somewhere, and if I can, how much would they cost. Here's an image.

I've searched everywhere, and I can't seem to find information on them.

Note: Please lock after this is answered. (If it's answered)

No, that's the bridge. I'm not really sure how acoustics are, because I only have an electric. Is there a possibility that they are attached to the strings? Electric strings have little bullets at the end to hold them in place.

Go to a music store and talk to the man behind the counter. Bring in your guitar too. He should be able to tell you what kind of strings you should get if you decide to replace them, how to tune your guitar, and any other questions you might have.

NoNameC68 gave the best advice =)
I play electric only but I had to repair an acoustic once and that's what I did
Good luck

Yea do what NoName says. It'll cost a little more to have them restring it, but at least you won't have to worry about how crappy you might have done it (speaking from personal experience)xP
