...No offense, but stringing is simple.. remove string, replace, rinse, repeat, tune play..

Not that simple. There are about a hundred ways to screw it up.

Yup. Agreed. Take a look at isaac's URL. That's how I do it.

the hardest part for me is always that damn high E, my fingers sweat a little bit and i lose all grip on it, and the kink at the end gets all fucked up and i have to rewind it like 10 times.... only problem i ever run in to and not all that often, but i'm always afraid im gonna ruin that damn E anyways

moral of the story is wash and dry your hands before you do it

One of which would be by having down syndrome

You'd think the high E would be easy since its the thinnest, but its the only string that I have ever broke while trying to tune right after restringing. Left a nice cut on my finger for a week.
