Reply to comment by SisterBucket in The neck of my guitar after 15+ years of regular use by SisterBucket

No. Change those goddamn strings. Your guitar should be taken away from you by Guitar Protective Services if you don’t. It’s like $10. It’ll sound gobs better. Guitar strings get super gross and less effective after a pretty short time. If you actually practiced or played gigs l, you’re supposed to change them like every month. Bass strings last much longer but guitar strings do not. If you’re playing enough to work all the varnish off your neck board like this, then you sure is shit are playing it enough to change your strings on the reg. Do it or I’m calling Big String and turning you in.

Big Fret might have something to say too.

Oh piss off. I play for myself as a hobby at the moment, I don't need to impress anyone. There actually are strings that last for a long time.

Do they sound as crisp as a fresh set? No.

Are they suitable for playing in front of an audience? No.

Do I care about the age of my strings as long as they play well? No.
