I hate re-stringing my guitars! 🙁

Is it just me, or does anybody else get cramp in their wrist winding their knobs? 😛

I just did 3 guitars. One of them a 12 stringer! Now I have to wait to play, as they need constant stretching and retuning.

That's 24 knobs I wound up! 🙁

Mine has nylon strings and they stretch forever it seems. I like to get the ball-end strings so I don't have to worry about the knots on the soundboard end. Mine never look very good when I have to do it.

It must be nice to be able to play an instrument though?

I take my doughters violin to the music store when she snaps a string and they put it on when I buy it can't you all do that?! 😕

Nylon too! (not the twelver).

I love tying the knots, I got it to a 't'.

It's tightening and winding gets to me. Takes forever and a day.
The cramp I can do without. Do you get cramp?

But sweet crisp bass, after 24 hours. It's worth it! 🙂

Aye, that it is. I spend at least an hour every single day playing. Always learning! One never stops learning! 😉

I sometimes play twice, even three times a day, depending on how hard my day was.

How many instruments come with a whang bar?

I hear that the feedback from Crowley's guitar is fairly weak.

Didn't he just get a new Wah Wah pedal?
