Hi,
I was always under the impression that more windings around the tuning
peg where the way to go, so you could tune the string more precisely. I
use a minimum of three windings per string. Why would less windings be
better?

If you have a floating trem, here is the fastest way I have found for a
complete
string change. Instead of taking all the strings off, take them off one
at a
time, and replace the discarded string with a new one. After you put the
new
string on, bend the crap out of it-- not just by doing a normal string
bend, but
stick your thumb under it and press down with your other fingers. Do
this the
entire length of the string. Tune it to pitch, then bend it again, and
tune it
again. Then move on to the next string. By doing this, your trem will
never
leave its balance point.
One other tip- have as few windings as possible around the tuning peg. I
use a
method that leaves almost no winding at all on the peg, but it is kind
of
difficult to describe, much easier to show.
