Re: Headstock Scratches
I do the same as Charley,cut the strings to length before i wind them on.Even then,over the years you're bound to get a few tiny scratches. My 13 Year old Weber "Fern" has a few of them,but they are 'small'. I do strongly suspect the the scratches happen when i remove the strings as they tend to spring off the tuner posts. Putting them on,i poke the strings through the post hole until about 3/16" is sticking through,& then wind on. The string ends get nowhere near the headstock,
