Location: Townsville, Australia | Hi
Found this a few months ago; same system; I have been using it in the tropics and find it holds tune well; normal changes overnight with humidity heat and now cooler nights require a re-tune but playing doesn't effect them. But it's a quick and neat/elegant method.

Location: CT | Have I been stringing my guitars wrong for 25 years? OY! My strings don't loop through the hole more than once, they don't tie in any knots, and I don't use voodoo black magic, but they never 'slip' out of tune. The only tuning issues are when they are new and still stretching. No one will get any magical sound enhancement if the string has 2 loops insead of three. |
