Schoolboy error😖

[Iain Douglas]

So, after getting a nice shiny set of guitar strings for my Faith guitar last week I finally decided to fit them today, cleaned and polished the old girl before fitting as usual, but then I get to the G string....arrgh....I've only bought a set of electric strings so the G is unwound not the end of the World I know but I was wondering how many of us have done the same over the years?

 

As it happens my high E has decided not to play ball now either by not staying in tune and constantly slipping (Think I've trimmed it too short and I've cocked the wrap up allowing it to slip) so a trip to my local Music shop tomorrow, kind of handy really as I want to see if I can do a deal with them trading my Blackstar id15tvp against a new Spark 2.

At least it wasn’t a bass, where that sort of thing can be a real bash to the wallet. You can still use those strings of course (if you can stop that slippage), you’ll just have to put up with poor intonation on the G string. That said, I’d just bite the bullet and get some acoustic strings, your ears will thank you.
