Yes, definitely stretch the strings.
* I hold a note down at the 1st fret when I stretch each string. I've cracked a nut before with over zealous stretching when I was in a hurry. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

This is how I do it, and is alot easier than winding first before poking through. string through first, then give about 3 finger widths slack and bend the string at the peg hole in the opposite direction you'll string it, then bend the other side slightly and wind away - jump to 1:20 - this guy is long-winded, but gets the point across well. this method works really well for the smallest string which I used to struggle with on ibanez style heads 6 in a row.

When I had the floyd, I usually placed the strings with the bullet in the headstock part so that they may keep a good counter grip on the strings when locked in the trem. Some folks cut the barrel, but I think it was there to help a lot. Anyway, changing strings on a floyd unit is a totally different matter, when calibrating and setting it up for a new pack of strings. I'm so glad I got rid of that I absolutely hate stringing guitars with wammys!, to the point that I no longer use them. Too much of a maintenance issue for me. -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!
