Who's got dirt on them?

Who's got dirty strings? You know what I'm talking about. Fess up!

 

I can personally say my strings are shiny and bright, except for one. I checked. One of my warlocks hasn't been played in months, but the string are clean, but they sound dead.

What a horrible night to have a curse.

Just changed the strings on ALL 3 of the boys. But on two of them, kept the same low E. I made mistakes.

I set-up a Black Gibson ES-135 for a buddy that had so much crud on the high E string, that it felt like a hacksaw blade.

 

I've had some pretty nasty strings. Do you think it's the difference between most praticing musicains and a hobbiest guitar player like myself? I'll bet nasty strings would drive some of these seasoned pros nuts! Bone nuts!

I change strings on the active instuments, the ones I always take to the gig every week, every Wednesday so they are ready and done stretching for Friday and Saturday nights. Sometimes I will grab a instrument that I don't normally take like last week I took the L4 and ended up playing it all night, the strings where older but not used from the last time I changed them so they where fine. Three or four guitars always go to the gig.

If you're the middle line on the A, maybe you've got some dirt in you...

 

I meant on...

 

Yup, I really need to change the strings on my Floyd-equipped axe.

Mine are turning black. I've put off changing them for a week now, because I have a new five-way switch for another guitar (also has dirty strings) that I want to get swapped out at the same time.

 

So now it's two string jobs, plus my two basses could use new sets...

I change my strings about once every six months to a year, whether they need 'em or not! :freak::D

 

Actually (and I don't want to start a damn Elixir rulez/suckz thread) I use webbed strings on my acoustics because my fingers put so much crud on the strings. A simple wipe keeps them clean and the timbre is consistant for many months at a time.

 

If I were playing out I'd change them a minimum of once a week or every gig, but that would require an endorsement deal. ;)
