Yes, you can do that.

No, it won't work very well. :lol:

Anything which increases the (already borderline on most 3+3 designs) angle between nut and tuner will be an absolute nightmare to keep in tune. Not to mention the increased angle might also make the strings pop out of the nut if not cut deep enough with probably rather amusing results. :mrgreen:

Tuning would be impossible due to the strings will contact each other, so tuning one will affect the tuning of others. And that's if you can cut your nut slots deep enough to keep the strings in their slots!

As others have said putting the strings on in the fashion you posted would not be the least bit advantageous and would most like cause a tuning nightmare and excessive binding. With the strings configured in that way you most likely be putting very uneven tension on the neck thus maybe even causing warpage.I can't fathom in any way why someone would even consider doing this as it would prove to be an excercise in futility and could quite possibly cost you the price of a new neck.

First of all I'm not a beginner. I've played guitar since like 6. So this may seem like a dumb question, but is there a way to string a guitar that has a 2 by 2 headstock by like criss crossing the strings? I can't remember but i think I saw someone do it once. I actually prefer an in line headstock though.

Can you string your guitar where the strings go like on the opposite tuner (they will be in the same place on the nut) just a different place on the headstock??

With all due respect and I mean absolutely no disrespect, no it is not possible to string a guitar any other way than the right way. If you string the guitar the wrong way it will not play.

The correct answer is: It depends.

Take a guitar with a 3 on 3 headstock and (aha) a floyd rose trem and string locks.

Now, take them and wind them on any tuner that you'd like to. It'll play just fine.
