Thanks! I've heard about "locking" the string at the peg.. I've even found a good web page that shows this but it's been taken down (just checked it) but it shows putting extra string thru the hole in the peg and then wrapping a small portion of the loose end round the other end of the string (if that makes sense) and it's actually how it was strung when I bought it. The strings are the same gauge as what was on it so I'm hoping that it won't be a problem with that but I'll check to make sure. I guess the only way is to have someone show me in person or go the "trial and error" route. I'm just dying to try the DR strings.. A friend had recommended Elixr but they were out of them and the dude in the store said to give these a shot.....

Again, thanks! First day on the site and it's already been a tremendous help!
