What name for the method in the JB Sound Check? It must be common since I learned that on the web years ago.

Almost all of my electrics have locking tuners. It saves a huge amount of time in changing strings and results in a lot less string related injuries.

I've been playing for almost 60 years, never with locking tuners, and I've never had, nor heard of, a string-related injury. I must be incredibly lucky.

In my opinion, the "Frank Ford" locking string thing is a solution for a problem that doesn't exist, and just makes stringing and unstringing your guitar harder.
As for wrapping the strings all the way down...no. Unless you need more break angle.
A lot of problems that people think are caused at the tuners could be fixed by adjusting the nut or bridge.

I did the "Frank Ford" thing back in the day, when using .010's and playing in rock bands and bending a lot. I did think it helped.
No need for it now. "Once round the pole, right through the hole, tune it up right, play all night."
No more 10" Neo Speakers?
