I might release the clamps before cutting my tails of my mains. Have you ever tried pulling Main L1 and then Main L2, instead of Main L1 and then Main R1.? Then you wouldnt pull Main R1 and have the clamp above your left clamp. Sub 17 minute string job easily! Looked efficent with quality to me!! I enjoyed and picked up a stringing tip!! I will be sure to tag you on the move I stole from you!!
