Yeah, that is the correct way to do it. I don't do it that way though. First, I turn the peg counter-closewise. When the string comes around I just bend or crimp it straight up. I do not "lock" it down with the string overlap. I like to have several wraps on each string. The wraps themselves trap the string. Plus it looks so pretty! :D

But your way is correct. Ain't gonna change this old dog though. 8) If you turn the peg in the oppisite direction you take the wrap in the oppsite direction. On my guitar I wrap both directions so the strings lay corectly. The illistration is for the G B E on a guitar with pegs on both sides of the head. Take the wrap in the oppisite direction for the E A D or all the strings on a strat style head.]]> Guitar Players Discussion oldiron https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/i-popped-the-strings-again/#post-87720 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/i-popped-the-strings-again/#post-87613 Mon, 31 Jan 2005 13:17:44 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/i-popped-the-strings-again/#post-87613 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/i-popped-the-strings-again/#post-87552 Mon, 31 Jan 2005 01:33:50 +0000 Thanks guys for all the help!]]> Guitar Players Discussion djdubb https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/i-popped-the-strings-again/#post-87552 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/i-popped-the-strings-again/#post-87529 Sun, 30 Jan 2005 22:55:00 +0000
