question for the guitar guys

GTGrinly said

I do one string at a time with the guitar mostly in tune before starting..this way you have a reference and it avoids overtightening...once I get the new strings on and initially in tune I'll pull on the strings to get any slack out of the tuners and give the strings an initial stretch then retune and it'll hold tune better.

It wasn't from overtightening. I clipped it too short and it wouldn't tighten. It was the first string I did. Learned from it and went from there. . Fed it through and once I get it wound I clipped it off. Problem was I didn't leave enough string for it to stay. The rest are golden. All six are in place now and man, what a difference!
