На большинстве безголовых гитар у струны на бридже нет перегиба и без оплетки ползут, вплоть до полного разматывания.
а кстати для Стейнбергера и выпускались даблболы ренфорсед (усиленные) - была обмотка в зоне бусины и на голых струнах. и в рекомендациях про пайку у него тоже было. а вот клеем бы не стал.
One last string tip - solder those wraps!
One final tip we'd like to leave you with can save you lots of aggravation. . .and maybe even some money.
It's not uncommon for the high E strings (and sometimes the B) to break - often right after re-stringing. LaBella includes two high E's in their sets because of this very thing. From what we can tell there seems to be some weakness in the wrap area right at the ball end. Since LaBella are the most popular, we see it with those more often. But it's been reported on other brands too.
The most common result of this flaw is that the string simply breaks at the ball end when the trem is raised. A less common outcome is that the trem will work fine when set up, but the next time you take it out of the case the high E will be flat and the others sharp. In this latter instance the wraps seem to be actually loosening a tiny bit.
To combat both issues, we suggest you put a drop or two of solder on the wraps of the unwound strings prior to installing them. It doesn't have to be the neatest work, so long as you reinforce the wraps a little. It only takes a few minutes, and can save you loads of aggravation (and high E strings!) if you get into the habit.
