How do I hook the strings at the tailpiece? The tailpiece appears to be a solid closed piece except for an opening where the strings come out. It also appears to be ball end strings. I don't see a way to remove the ball ends and slide the new strings inside the tailpiece. Any help is greatly appreciated.
That's a mandolin-style tailpiece with a cover that slides off. It is not solid. Uses loop end strings.

There is a cover on the tailpiece. I had a GT Banjola and the cover was very tight. I usually had to use something to pry it off. Once the cover is off, it'll all become clear.
Thanks again guys, got it done and the tailpiece cover slides off and on now. You gotta love BHO with all the helpful people.
