Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:Back on topic, I have a question having to do with restringing.
A long time ago, my first guitar teacher had a guitar on which, on the headstock where the strings were wound, he had the small colored notches on the bottom of the strings poking out through the holes. (I'm trying to find a picture of this on Google Images, and I'm having a very hard time...basically, the following part of the string was sticking about an inch out of the peg)
However, I don't believe the guitar was strung backwards. I asked him how he did it, and he told me "Just string your guitar, and save the bottoms of your old strings. All you have to do is wind those through too." But I tried this, and the holes on all 3 of the guitars I own aren't big enough for 2 strings, even if you double up the smallest/largest (eg: bottom of the 6th string gets wound in the 1st string's hole)
Does anyone have any experience with trying this? I thought it looked sort of cool, and figured I would try it out sometime.
Hmmm, that's weird. I know D'addario's, which is what I use, have coloured rings on the end, and when you play something like a les paul with a tuneomatic bridge or whatever, you can kinda see them. I've never heard of what he does though
sorry if that joke offended some of you, but don't worry, my girlfriend laughs when I make jokes like that
(most of the time....) 
Has he used it since?

Thanks!
