Hummmm, this is interesting @speckpgh .
So, I would take this guitar into the shop and tell whoever is at the counter what’s going on. I don’t know about your local shop, but when I have had a confounding problem that was possibly an “easy” fix, someone would start checking it out on the spot. It would go into the luthier only if they couldn’t figure it out. This sounds like you might not have gotten the string into the bridge hole properly and/or the bridge pin isn’t seated correctly… maybe. Or the saddle slipped out? Or maybe the nut moved? I’m stretching here, but it maybe something that can be found without a lot of difficulty for someone with experience.
Anyway, just my random thoughts. I hope you get it fixed. I hope you can find a rental, or one you can borrow, or an appropriate, inexpensive one. Something like that?
