How often change your string?

[darkballa]

How often do u change them?

 

[satch]

2 weeks once, cos its sick to do so on a floyd. haha, on my vintage trem is used to change once a week. cos the strings get black very quickly and i hate those string cleaners like fast fret and stuff.

lucky my main guitar is floyd so i can save money due to my laziness

 

[ItAcHi]

around 3 weeks...

 

[BlackMoo]

I'm still using my stock strings...

 

[nitrovo]

I've had these strings for....maybe 5+ months

 

[Lifehouse]

When they sound dead, like over stretched rubber bands. :smt002

 

[BlackMoo]

I intend to keep the entire guitar stock lol... if the stock strings burst, I'ma solder em back together again.

 

[stars]

lol mine are elixirs.. been using them for a month now ... intend to keep em till june or sumthing

 

[AsphaltMK]

i know when to change my strings when after i play, my fingers have rust stains... or the who string snaps...

 

[nitrovo]

what about when your fingers smell like steel after you've been playing. does that mean its time to change them?

 

[BlackMoo]

nah, re-electroplate the metal coating... Stock strings last forever!!

 

[berukblue]

I've never had the need to change strings since i've switched to Elixirs...and that was over a year ago

 

[MrRhoads]

For my D'addario days.. i used to change once a week. Now, having changed to DR, my guitar puts on a new set of strings every 2 weeks.

 

[CyanideJunkie]

i change my ghs about once a month with the help of the fast fret...

 

[pooo]

Once a month. It gets expensive Sometimes mounting up to $50 over just on strings alone.

 

[teleholic]

once or twice a week...? that's a little to quick eh...? the strings on mine RG since last yr forget when...still sound good...cost a lot to keep changing know...

 

[rockito]

s long s the 'feel' is there when u play and the strings still deliver the tone u want, juz whack it. i change whenever i feel like it. sometimes they last a few days, sometimes a few weeks, 3 months also got. its something that is not fixed.

 

[redjackal]

about 2 to 3 months once. my strings are hard to rust. haha
however, i find GHS boomer rusts easier.

maybe due to the fact that i don't have sweaty palms? my friend who have tend to change more than me. He had 2 sets changed and i still have mine on the first set.

still nice and slinky. without any string cleaner.

i havent changed my strings in almost a yr..mostly cus never played it in a yr..since im startin to get serious abt my guitar and all..i was wondering what do u guys do to maintain ur guitar and keep it cool n all..what kinda strings are recommended and any polish uhh cleaners or anything required to maintain?

 

[pooo]

Just a good wipe down of the guitar body and strings would pretty much do it. You could invest in all the polish and stuff, but i don't really feel it necessary. They'll last so long as you take care of it The longest i've been without a string change was about a year, but the feel and tone of it... lol
