The parts used to anchor the strings to the bridge in acoustic guitars are called “bridge pins.” The string is passed into a hole in the bridge, then the bridge pin is pushed into place to secure it there. The other end of the string passes over the nut at the end of the fingerboard and is then attached in to the machine heads, where the string is then tuned to proper pitch.
