+1 on the FRETNOTREPAIR method

actually my guitar teacher showed me that, and he's been doing it for 30yrs+

It LOCKS the string in, and is what I find the best way to keep a string in perfect TENSION and it keeps it in TUNE the best!

It takes a little more time, effort, and experience, but its what I think is the best way!

I don't like taylor's method personally.

I've also found that on some guitars alot of windings is a good thing.
Just as long as the windings DO NOT overlap
Old tele's and strats are best when they have windings all the way to the bottom (or as close as you can get them)

BUT for most of my guitars I try to get about 3 windings on each string
