Location: East Tennessee | Would it increase the break angle?? Cool idea.
I think I would have trouble tuning. I do anyway. :confused: |

I don't think it would work for me; I've been known to grab the wrong peg and tweak the wrong string in "normal" winding as it is. It would definitely be interesting on a 12-string, that's for sure!! :D

Wrong doesn't need an explaination or encouragement.

Location: Tychy, Poland | i think that string wound on bass strings will break very quickly with that tuning method.
probably someone stringed that way guitar on some alcoholic party, made a photo and now 1000 guitarists think how it will affect guitar sound or if it will sound better. |

Alternative string windings - Anyone tried this ?
