Thanks Bro!

Wow - that's a lot of pre-measuring and cutting to do just to change strings - can you imagine having to do that quickly in the middle of a gig! (umm, which string is this...ummm...where should I cut it...oh, where is that printout that tells me how long each string has to be - oh 30mm - where's my little ruler??? Why couldn't they just put a freaking hole in the middle and that's the end of it???

That is also the *opposite* of how the strings were wound from the factory! They started at the bottom of the pole, went up to the top, and then just the end of the string was stuck down into the hole (seemingly just to get it out of the way).

I wonder if I should get the tuners changed if it's that much work to change strings with them...

Thanks again for finding that for me Ben! I'm guessing you don't have to deal with one of these "hole-less" string poles yourself...
