New Guitar Strings

Guitar strings do loose its tonality, intonation, tone, etc., when strings becomes old. Basically, we do have physical contact with the strings, and most-likely, most of the dirt and moisture from our finger will be transferred to the strings. This is bad because strings will tend to go dull and rusty, so it will become inaccurate. Besides, you will actually notice the difference, and when this time comes, change your strings.

There are tons of good strings to choose from. It is all up to you, and choose that best suites your playing and of course your desire. There are strings that are made to last longer than usual, and those are engineered with a good technology. But of course, there are some up and downside. The important things is the strings are fresh. There is actually no specific time that will tell on when to replace strings. Sometimes your strings-life can take 2 to 3 weeks, or sometimes shorter. Well, artists do change strings between concerts actually, to provide them the tone accuracy and precision. Try to listen and feel what your guitar is saying, and that will tell you on when to replace the strings.




Also, you will also get a chance to clean your fretboard thoroughly because it is wide-free to clean.

Well, I am talking in general, and it could be the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, bass, whatever... Fresh strings will give you great tone, and the feel of their full capability.
