I just put Southcoast G650 Linear w/classical metals on my tenor. Can I simply cut off the extra at the tuners? I certainly don't want the wound strings to unwind.

Yes. These are great strings - their only quirk being that once you take them off, you may not be able to put them back on. The kink where they wrapped around the tuners will be weak.

Pretty common if you're trying different string sets . . .I've never heard of someone putting strings back on after taking them off. Why would you do that?

So what do you mean by trying different string sets? I'm not trying to belittle anyone or anything, it's just not something I've thought to do. I put a set of strings on and generally don't take them off for a while. If I want to try some different strings, I'll buy a different set for the next time I change them out. It's such a pain to get strings to settle into being tuned that I'd rather not change them all that frequently.
