Leave a hands width (or a little more) distance of slack. I cut the excess.
Wrap around 1/2 the post first then around the entire post. 3 full wraps are best. This vid shows the technique ... This post has been edited by klasaine: Jun 25 2015, 04:14 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Hmm I actually though all tuners were like this since the guitar I had all had this type of tuners/system. I always found it to be pain in the ass to do and I would end up with cuts on my fingers from sharp string ends. Thanks for bringing this up though, I didn't know those would classify as "vintage" and that there are other "easier" types of tuners out there.
I usually just bring the string to tension and leave like 5 cm of excess length in relation to the tuner (cut the rest) so that when I start winding it up, it doesn't take forever. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
