This is how I string my guitar

[Stringtreat]

You must put as much of the string as possible on non locking tuners, in a nice even wind with no overlapping. On strats I use a lube on all string contact spots & all metal to metal contacts on the bridge assembly. I break a lot of strings at the bridge so I feed the broken string back thru the bridge and tie the end back on, sometime this makes it difficult to get the ends out of the string holes in the block when I want to restring the guitar so I use a short piece of bass string to push the old end out.

You're kidding, right?
