This is my personal guitar collection and blog, started in October 2010 and updated frequently. I'm privileged to own many fantastic instruments, some legendary, and to be able to play them well enough too. I hope you enjoy viewing, find it useful and return from time to time.
Have you ever thought of reversing the string wind on the top and bottom e on this cute little parlour guitar. It may be counterintuitive but would put less stress on the string as it passes over the nut. I have seen it done on other guitars where the pillar is not in line with the nut groove. Just a thought…Cheers

Thanks, Jack, glad you like the site. What a great idea – one I’d never considered but it makes sense. I will try it next time I restring and see whether the advantage gained outweighs to slight inconvenience of having to tune in different directions!
