Old strings will start to sound muddy, they lose their brightness, and you start to notice it just doesn't sound as good as it used to. At that point, installing new strings is like getting a new guitar all over again.

You may want to change them every 2-4 months to start with. Now someone will correct me if I'm wrong.... :)

Under Guitar Players Discussion, we've had a few recommendations for strings for '51s on the Squier '51 Roll Call thread....

Margaret I'm actually already am pretty good at bending I think (with a single string though). Not so much if I'm doing a chord. And I'll check out that topic.
Kevin I have used the E.B. .9's since I was 14 ( I'm 49 now) . Its a good choice Thanks. How often do you change them?]]> Guitar Players Discussion Kevin72790 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-strings-3/paged/2/#post-220505 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-strings-3/paged/2/#post-220470 Sun, 07 Jan 2007 15:47:07 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Rahul https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-strings-3/paged/2/#post-220470 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-strings-3/paged/2/#post-220421 Sun, 07 Jan 2007 10:27:16 +0000
Sorry if you already know this, but it's unclear as I read the posts, and this was actually something I didn't know at first, so.... Anyway, the wound strings for acoustics tend to be wound with brass or bronze, where the strings for electrics tend to be wound with nickel.

Okay, I'll shut up now. :wink: I didn't know that, so thanks for sharing! I'll have to file that tidbit away for later, if I ever get an electric. I currently have Dean Markley 12's on mine, and I like 'em just fine.]]> Guitar Players Discussion indiana_jonesin https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-strings-3/paged/2/#post-220421 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-strings-3/#post-220408 Sun, 07 Jan 2007 09:31:45 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion smokindog https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-strings-3/#post-220408 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-strings-3/#post-220406 Sun, 07 Jan 2007 09:24:38 +0000

My nearest guitar shop is about twelve or so miles and 20-30 minutes away depending on traffic.. (cue someone whose guitar shop is even further ;))

As for strings, I went out the other day and bought some cheap GHS Electric Roundwound .12's.. and I'm not too pleased. They sound like crap on my Artcore.. just sound really bad. I'd steer clear of those.. but than again, maybe they sound better on a solid body. 50 miles .... I win .. ha haaaa haaaa hAAA! .... :oops: SORRY]]> Guitar Players Discussion TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-strings-3/#post-220366 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-strings-3/#post-220353 Sun, 07 Jan 2007 06:08:03 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion smokindog https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitar-strings-3/#post-220353
