Question: String ends

[GilmourD]

This is my usual handiwork.

I bend them up and trim them flush to the top of the tuner.

On my Floyd Rose guitars, I string them backwards and leave the balls at the tuner end, then trim the length at the saddle end.

Just like the pic above this post.

I use D'Addarios, so I have to trim one end or the other anyway since there's unwound string beyond the point where the winding ends.

More traditional tuners...

They look like nose hairs when not trimmed. Nobody wants to look at that.
I use locking tuners,I think they only need an 1/16" extra from the post.

I stick them down these little holes.

I like split Tuners as well, but I don't have a guit with them any more. I trim as well though.
