If you take all of the strings off and then put all of the strings back on at once you are putting unnecessary strain on the neck. Maybe I was taught wrong. who knows?

Thanks for the great demo. For some reason I string a guitar differently every time. I needed a system to follow!
Doesn’t holding a wound (G to low E) string down on the headstock while you are winding cause a friction that could mar the finish like a file?

Thanks
