  • Reverse Headstock String Winding

    Obviously there is no right or wrong way to do this. The guitar nimphs aren't going to turn my axes into Maestro brand guitars in the middle of the night if I do it wrong.
    But what is the suggested way to wrap strings around the tuners on a reverse headstock. I guess, due to headstock angles and tilts, that we will stick with the Jackson reverse headstocks.

    Do the strings go on the top side or the bottom side (clockwise or counterclockwise).
    Does a lock nut make the answer any different.
    Why is it the choosen way.



    The white logo is the under/bottom side, which requires a counter-clockwise motion to tighten.
    The red logo is the top side, which requires a clockwise motion to tighten.

    What's shown in the pic with the red logo is the correct way... just the opposite way of a non-reverse inline.

    The one with the white logo actually has the high E string strung up the right way, all the others are wrong.
    I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.
