Eric, is this going to be an acoustic or electric with a mag pup?

Electric. eventually I would like to know how to do both but I really focus mainly on electrics.

Basically I'm curious to find another way to do my string stops. I use string pegs and loop the string around them, wich I haven't had one break and any one bring theres back to me with that problem. But someone here mentioned it could be a weak spot and that's absolutely true so if I could find a "as clean of a look or cleaner" that is less likely to cause trouble, I might be game. ☺
