Grin... I didnt say that you HAD gone overboard. I cautioned against 
doing so.  I mean by all means to each their own mind you... but I see 
no reason to start putting strings on with wire sticking out through the 
tuning pin hole, much less with enough to make an extra bend. There is 
certainly no need as far as keeping the strings from slipping out of 
tuning pin holes and off the pin.  The rest is basically esthetics.... 
hehe that is to say outside of a bit of spilt blood from time to time.
