Is it on the guitar, or still in the package?

Is it quicker to New York or by bus?

You could do like I do Earnest. Leave it on there for no more than three months and change it whether it needs it or not. Three gigs a week and clean wipe after each set works for me.

What should I do about my 3rd string?

I have it string across the top of the kitchen window and I've used dental floss to hang an array of cockroaches from side to side as a substitute for "chi-chi balls'. Got the idea from Martha Stewart.

Give them some playing time when you're way ahead.

...Earnest, hotels don't have 13th floors but you can still get to the 14th floor and all floors above...just skip string 3, go directly from string 2 to string 4...the low B string on an E9 will be the 11th string and you'll still have a 10 string neck...

...before pedals strings didn't break so we only had to change them when they got "rusty"....

Put a light coat of oil on it and then insert tab A into slot B etc. etc. etc.!!!

Earnest B.

There are numerous causes that contribute to the premature breakage of the infamous .011 string. To find a way to reduce the stress points, seems to be the utmost goal to achieve success for string endurance. There are several approaches open for experimentation. Not the least of all, the characteristics of the string. Modifications may be in order.

Now that, is the sort of response I am looking for. A momentaneous ventilation of diurnal prevalence, disabuses a surfeit of stress points. Modifications, may, or may not, be in order.

Well, I just changed my 3rd string. It sounds more like it does now than it did before.

I once had a momentaneous ventilation of denurnal prevalence, but I was told not to worry it was only gas..

Larry Miller · Post by **Larry Miller** » 24 Mar 2002 5:26 am

Bill Hankey, could you further delve into the uncertain lifespan of the 3rd string, and perhaps, define the many events that might lead to breakage, and as a follow up question,..... why is there air?
