Maybe its not realistic concern. But hey, for me, it was. > So... tell me... did the plug hold ?... did it stand up to pressure the pin puts on it when the string is up to tension ? I havent tried plugging much yet so I have little experience with the proceedure... I have read that there is some concern over the plug eventually turning in the hole.
