Restringing Idea

just like in the second article... thread it through the hole, and then pull it towards the middle of the headstock, loop under the part of the string between the nut and the tuner, and then tighten. when the string winds it will press against itself and lock in place.

lol cool, i like to bend the top two strings (the top to nuts) and keep up like atennas, people always enjoy that. I curl the others one so they look like... curls...

I think it's that an idiot first bought a Martin and then strung it like that.

alright when you do the wrapping around the tuning post..

do you wrap then put the string in the hole?

or string in hole wrap around and go form there

I'm really not trying to come across as sounding like a dick, but did you even look at the links jeffro or myself posted here? If you won't go to the trouble of carefully reading instructions, why ask for help?

In jeffro's link, the 1st thing it tells you to do is put the string in the hole....

Put the string in the hole first, then wrap.. I usually use a pair of needle nose plyers so I can get a tight wrap.. then, I tune up, then cut the excess.

you dont wrap the string ends around the post if thats what youre asking, you just pull it through and back under so it catches and holds its tension when you turn the tuning key... the string should have enough excess that you have to turn the key for a while and have a couple wraps of string around the post by the time its up to pitch
