How did five decades go by and I never knew this. Crazy

[@alisonk3148]

Brilliant!

[@SivanGoobich]

Omg thank you for this. So smart

[@tiggerplaysguitar]

Looking forward to trying this. Would never have thought of it as it's so counter-intuitive that strings, of all things, would be susceptible to metal fatigue, which is I guess what this is. Those little sharp ends do love to shred the inside of gig bags, as well as stabbing your fingers at every opportunity, so it'll be good to get rid of them! Great tip, thanks.

I used to break off my strings that way quite often, though not at the tuner, more likely right at the bridge after playing Pinball Wizard a bit too heavy handed!

I’ve done it like that for years. Eliminates a string sticking your finger when playing behind the nut bends.
