I'm going to try snakestretcher's method the next time I change strings. Seems to make sense to me.

That's the locking method, as espoused by the Martin stringers, that I was talking about Colin. It doesn't seem to have many fans on this forum!

Yes I know, but it's still the correct way!

Ah, so this is called the locking method.
Thanks for the pics!
Good to finally know the name of how I have been restringing for some decades :-D

I use the same way as Colin. It is a bit fiddly to take the strings off but I find it to be a really quick way of restringing.
