                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I guess I'm just naturally neat and tidy - curl them into little loops. The one time I put guitar strings on and cut them, one of the strings slipped - I didn't have enough of it left to re-thread it, well, not enough to grip anyway. That's why I NEVER cut them.<br><br>Bass guitar's different - the strings I've got on now (Rotosound) have a red leader wire, a lot thinner than the strings so I use the whole thing.<br><br>I did have a 12-string once - didn't really have it long enough to change the strings. I can imagine that particular job has a particular charm all of its own, though!<br><br> :D  :D  :D <br><br>Vic]]></content:encoded>
