Anyone know how heavy I can go without experiencing issues with the nut grooves? I'm debating fitting some recently purchased Burns Newtones in .011,.015,.022w,.032,.039,.049 and don't want to find them not wanting to bed down in the grooves or stick halfway etc.
I was planning on fitting them to my strat but was concerned by the warning on the packet that says:
"Due to the unique design of these strings it is paramount that no cutting of excess string is done until wrapped around the tuning post and tuned to pitch."
Well my strat has the slotted posts so strings have to be cut to length first before poking the end of the string down the hole in the post's top, after which they're then wound round the post as usual. If I shorten them first will the wound ones dramatically unwind or something?
