Correct way of stringing?

Wilomentena

What is the right way of tieing off the string at the machine head on the jaguar? I do a 8 knot thing but im not sure how ure ment to do it

Rick

you don't do anything like that. you put the end of the string down the hole in the centre of the tuner shaft

Malik

The correct way is to pull the string tight around the tuner, wrap it around about 3 times then cut off the rest of the string, leaving about 2cm extra. Then, get some pliers and bend this 2cm 90 degrees, and then simple push the bend bit in the top. Tighten up and you're done.

Then insert *into* the tuner and wind.

Nice. I'd been doing this since before I knew how to play guitar, only to find out that I'm doing it right.
