Skinnyman Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 You mean, that’s not the correct way? *sidles from room to spend rest of evening restringing basses* 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) To be honest, I'm more forgiving of someone who gets it all wrong but is, at least, consistent. Those do it for only one or two strings but get it right for others... well, I have a ticket to ride on Hell's black wings for those people.

Boodang Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I quite like the 'fan' effect of the strings on the headstock, quite a pleasing geometry. I'm off to change all my strings! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headstock from a Gibson reverse flying V. Worries over the reliability of the G string stopped me buying one.

Paul S Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 It would be intresting to try and sell the strings afterwards. 'Cut for a 2+2 headstock' wouldn't quite cover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Oh I dunno, makes sense to me if you were a newbie stringing for the first time. Kind of has a logic to it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
