I would be happy to try to explain the methid in words, but until I get a digital camera to take pics it may be hard to understand. I start by pulling on the strings and stretching them (with a pair of needlenose pliars) before I even put them on the guitar. Then pull a the high E string through the bridge. This is the hard to explain part, but here goes nothing: you give the string a measured amount of slack, you stretch the string out flat and grap it at the tuning peg above the tuning peg you would normally put the string through(in this case the B string tuning peg). Now you put the string in the high E tuning peg up to the point you are holding the string(You should have a good deal of slack in the string now.) make sure to hold the string down right below the tuning peg so the slack stays in the string. Now you twist the string in an interlocking patter, over/under/over/under, until the string is tightened. I repeat this in the order: High E, B, Low E, G, A,D. But thats just my picky preference for balancing tension on the neck during stringing, it probably doesnt matter much the order. Their is also another step I have heard of people doing where you run the end of the string through the tuning peg twice so that it creates a loop, which I may try out this weekend to see how it works out.

I apologize for making everyone wait all night for the reply (well it was all night here in America). I hope you understood what I was saying, if not I'll be glad to answer any other questions, I wont be on again for a little bit after this post though.
