quick guitar quest.
how often are u supposed to change ur strings... or do u leave them on till one breaks?
cuz my strings are kinda buzzing a little.. and i wasnt sure if that had anything to do with old strings.. if sumone can answer me that would be awesome. ...rock on man... |
Well it really depends upon how often you play. I play about two hours every day or so therefore I change my strings every couple of weeks.
|
yeah man

I change mine every few months... |
Haha I dunno...basic electric strings. When I was at my local store, the guy told me to change them at often (and no, he wasn't trying to get me to buy more strings).
|
you don't have to change them that much... do you take them all off... and then put them all on again... or do you do them one at a time..? because taking them all off (and then have no strings on) and then putting them all on... really can reek havoc on your neck
|
I change it when it breaks
|
I took them all off at once, but now I won't. Thanks for the tip, Matt. ;)
|
yeah... because the strings put alot of resistance on the neck... and when you take them off... your neck can bend slightly... and if you keep doing that... over a period of yrs it can really weaken your neck... and it won't sound as good...
|
i try to play 4+ hours every day, but on the 3 days per week i work i only get in 2 or so (parents love me playing at 11 pm till 1 lol)
i use elixer nanowebs so i really only need to change them once a month or so, they hold up really well. I most often wait a month or until they start to lose their tone, usually the month comes first, that's why i like them so much. |
yeah... i use DR... and they are SO much better than what i used to use... i just got them about a month ago... so they may be different then earie ball
|
i change them about once a month, and about 4 times a year i take them all off and i clean every single fret and just about everything you can clean to leave my guitar shiny as hell

How long have U had the guitar and what gauge strings have U got on it now? Are they thinner than the last ones U had on? |
