Changing Strings on an Electric Guitar
By Dan Cross, About.com Guide
Once you've successfully wrapped the string around the tuning peg, bring the string into approximate tune. When completed, take your pliers and snip off the excess string protruding from the tuning peg. Leave approximately 1/4" of the string, to prevent slippage. Dispose of the excess string immediately.
