Guitar Strings/Care - Electric or Acoustic guitar
How often you change your guitar strings depends on many factors
such as:
- How bright or dull do you like them to sound?
- How often do you play the guitar?
- How do you take care of them?
- How much money do you have?
Here is a chart to follow providing that you wipe your
guitar strings down after every time you play, you prefer
that they sound fairly pure and alive, and you are not
broke.
The condition of your guitar strings deteriorates
because they are made of steel. The oils and dirt from
your fingers build up on the them, this causes corrosion
which makes the strings sound dull.. Humidity can also
cause them to corrode. Even if you don't play at all,
your guitar strings will deteriorate over time.
