Restringing a guitar?

Question

How important is it to wrap the string around the tuning post more than once? I did not do this but the guitar plays fine. Is there some problem that could happen because i didnt wrap it around 3-4 times?

Answer 1

wrap the string  makes it so that the string does not slip... when you tune it..

Answer 2

theres actually a correct way of doing it, a loop with 3 winds but I just use 3 winds if Im sober enough, if not no one seem's to notice anyway,

Answer 3

If the string is wrapped at least once so that the string is "biting" itself and staying in place while you play, then shouldn't be a problem.  Just don't slack the string or it will probably let go.

Answer 4

Take it off and wrap it around more than once cus if you don't it might put too much tension on the gears it the tuners.

Answer 5

dont take it off, because this will most likely break the strings, but just wrap it 3 or 4 times from now on...Im guessing your guitar isnt that expensive, so it wont make a difference in tone or anything
