So I decided to try that approach, but had a brain-fart and cut the A string to the length meant for the low E string :blink:
Mea Mucho Culpa.
This means that the string had at most 3/4 inch of slack for winding around it's tuning peg.
The string is ruined, right ? Ah, not so fast !
I came up with a solution that I haven't yet found with any internet search engines.
So I made this little tutorial for fun, since I wanted to experiment with the open source "Inkscape" program (similar to Adobe's "Illustrator").
Anyone had similar experiences ?
