Thank you for clearing this up. I can’t see how any of the tuners could wind any other way than over the top and way from the Nut, as mentioned in an above post.
I’m curious why they have been designed in this fashion. It lends to the numerous other forum questions that start “I’ve restrung the wrong way, does it matter?”
