String day is a good day.

Thank you, gentlemen, for your months of service. Enter ye into the joy of your lord. That is all.

This thread makes me feel guilty. My Rampage and Promod haven't been played in weeks because of broken strings and I've lazily just ignored them. :facepalm:

I'm terrible about changing strings when they need it or restringing if I break a string too. I just move to a different guitar and put off doing the basics. *sigh*

[benjamin801]

I only have one guitar, but thanks to graphite saddles and a really well-cut nut, I don't think I've broken a string in 8 or 10 years. Because of this, I will get lazy and play a set of strings until they are unconscionably dead. Example: this most recent set of strings I just changed were six months and probably ten shows old.

I don't know how people can play on strings that old. I leave them on for 3 weeks tops.

I do it because I'm lazy.

I'm just cheap.

Oh yeah, I'm cheap too.

So, I'm lazy AND cheap.

Yeah, I aim for about 2 weeks or so, at least on my no 1, although sometimes it drags out a bit longer. Just restrung my main a couple of days ago though, somewhat forced by the fact that the plain strings had somehow developed several kinks. The non-main guitars might drag out a bit longer, and the acoustics and whatnot go way longer. Largely just because I don't play 'em anywhere near as much.

This. I play on strings until they smell like rusty cheese and can't stay in tune.

They are like $5 and it takes 10 minutes.

[ovid9]

Yup, saving $5 and not spending 10 minutes on string changes right now. Awww yeah.....

[TurboPablo]

I don't know how people can play on strings that old. I leave them on for 3 weeks tops.

Yup. As soon as they start to fade, I change them.

Man, when I take my strings off they don't look nearly as fresh and shiny as that

I have to be going on a year with the Elixir Anti-Rust plain steels on 2 of my guitars. Not big on their coated wound strings but their plain steels really do stay shiny and smooth forever :o

Holy sheet!

I'm super anal about washing my hands before I play, and my hands don't sweat very much.

[Elessar [Sly]]

Every time I change strings I'm like 'This time it'll be different... I'll do it properly and replace them when they need to be replaced. In fact, tomorrow I'll re-string another guitar'.

Brain to arse communication failure.

Word!! I havent found a guitar that I like as much as my ninja, so I see no point in owning another one...until I can buy an SV-II lol.

[stovebolt]

I just buy another guitar to avoid having to change strings.

[Yarbicus]

I just buy another guitar to avoid having to change strings.

Yeah, and I only buy them if they come pre-tuned.

[stovebolt]

Yeah I can't stand that shit either

I once bought a Floyd equipped guitar and the seller detuned it to save the neck during shipping. I returned it because I didn't have the time to deal with that shit.
