I totally agree with putting the same amount of pressure like you were playing the guitar on the 12 fret during intonation check. I first realized that when I had my tech setup the intonation which he had a different touch than I had . This was a great demonstration on how to do it right. Even though I have done this same procedure for decades it is much appreciated to see that you care enough to take the time to show how it is done as a professional for your subscribers.
That's a great questions. In my opinion, I believe it would mitigate the possibility of a string resting against the cut end going through the post. Maybe not an issue with the low E, but stringing other locking tuner guitars I've had, I've noticed a few strings would just sit against the locked string end rather than on the post. Might be a small detail, but having at least one wrap (or zero wraps and locked) ensures that the playing side of the string is resting directly on the post.
I had to read it a few times, but I get what you’re saying. I always pull the strings taught before locking so that there is about a half wrap when tuned to pitch.
Thanks for this very important educational moment of these very important things that all guitarists should know! :)
We need a strandberg version of this
That's a beautiful color on the body
and the guitar flip... gorgeous! 15:10
I’d love to see the Strandberg version of the setup. Excellent work.
Sounds good! I'll add it to the list!

Thanks for watching and commenting!
May I ask why this one is your fav over your dgt?
Why does PRS recommend extra string on the tuning post? Doesn't that just allow for more stretch / more propensity to go out of tune?
