I changed my strings for the first time about 3 weeks ago. At first I thought I did them wrong because it took a really long time for them to settle, and my C string was going out of tune way faster than the others. Now they are all pretty good - going out of tune at the same rate as my old ones which were done at the factory. But my problem is, my knots at the bridge are not as clean as the originals - they look pretty terrible. I'm also afraid to cut the "tails" off close to the knot because they might unravel. Will they? Do you guys have tips for cleaner knots?
Attached are my before and after shots. Thanks!
