Bought it at the five and dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

I play a little, pretty much self taught. Started when I was about 17 for a few years, then hardly played anything for about 30 yrs(once in a blue moon). Been relearning over the last year or so and I'm liking it. Love my RG550.

my most played guitar is a 30dollarpound strat copy.

I've many more expensive bits of kit but I gravitate back to the super cheapo one every time.

I got a Kramer Baretta for like hmm £130 or something and I really love it, so I know what you mean.

You told me it was a one-string guitar and I believed you when I bought it from you for $5.00. I want the other five strings or I want my money back.

Maybe now is the time to take it up! String changing gets a lot easier the more you do it.

Are you sure this was me?!

You must live in a place with 0% humidity all year round, far from the coast. Otherwise those things would be rust & dust by now.

Straya. I have to change strings at least once a month (or once a fortnight) or my guitar is completely unplayable. If I've been playing a lot or have more than one gig in a month I'll have to change strings more often.

crikey. I've learnt something new!

I've got ancient strings on some of my guitars. Must get expensive to have to keep changing em.

It does. I buy the 10 packs to save a minuscule amount of money. I bought in bulk once and that backfired because they all rusted before I got to use them. Anything I earn from a gig basically goes straight into buying strings.

cripes, that's astounding.

what about coated strings? or do they fail too?

I bought a Squire CV tele recently and it has a tiny thin plastic coating feel on its strings, I've not really thought about why they'd have that, might be worth looking into (but I bet you already have!)
