Well, this is embarrassing. I'm going to install the Thomastik-Infeld CF127 string set on my guilele and realize I don't know which end is supposed to go at the bridge. I'll try to get a pic next, but if you've used these strings you may know what I'm talking about.
The 3 basses have a red material at each end. One end it is about eight inches and much more flexible than the other end which is about 2 inches, quite stiff, and has a loop (but not a ball end). I have not seen a string like this.
The loop won't fit in either the bridge hole or the tuner hole so it seems my only choice is to either:
Booli, Booli?

The loop won't fit in either the bridge hole or the tuner hole so it seems my only choice is to either:
- put the flexible end through the tuner first and run it down the fretboard so that the loop stays up by the tuner (but surely it's going to get cut off).
- Or I go the opposite direction and string the flexible end through the bridge and go up to the tuner, leaving the loop down by the bridge - but doesn't seem like it would be tie-able it is so thick.
