Well spotted for noticing it is meant to be an acoustic guitar, you have
already proven that you know more than me about guitars. I only know it is
acoustic because the photo I used to model it from said so.. The photo did
however have steel/gold looking strings.

Not that I like to elaborate on my mistakes but I rotated the string around
with out rotating the tuner so the part of the string that goes through the
hole actually goes through the tuner.

Thanks, I was fairly pleased with this texture as well, source is below..
