So I changed my strings for the first time on my electric and I accidentally wound my low E string the opposite way. I don't really want to get more strings and have leftovers. Will this hurt the nut or the tuning instrument in any way? And how will this affect drop tuning?

Do you mean it goes clockwise around the tuning peg? – Your Uncle Bob Sep 05 '19 at 02:06

3You can probably remove the string carefully and put it in the other way around. Also, most shops sell individual strings. – Your Uncle Bob Sep 05 '19 at 05:04

2Just unwind and rewind. This string, being thickest of the bunch, is also most resilient. Just don't ever tune it too high (but you probably know that) – Carl Witthoft Sep 05 '19 at 11:30
