Feeling_This_1 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 about how often do u get them i got my guitar last year and ive broken 4 total, one of them on the night i got it, i was so pissed cuz i thought they have to open up the guitar or something, but nope, you just put it in through the back, then i broke another in december and recently like a week ago, i broke the big E string, got it fixed, and just a minute ago i broke the A string lol luckily im going to the music place anyway tomorrow, the new E string sounded so weird compared to the others at first cuz it was never used and the others were used a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 if you keep breaking strings i reccomend moving up a gauge. also if you play your guitar regularly change them at least every 2 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caillou Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 i rarely replace my strings because i just started guitar but i've played bass for like 3-4 years and i replace them every now and then, not often though cuz bass strings are so expensive lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Shackelford Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 IO'd change my guitar strings more often but I can never restring it good so I just have the shop do it. I'd like to change all of my bass strings at least ever 3-4 months but they're so damn expensive I have to buy for my main bass first than the rest.
