The last time I restrung, I took Ricochet advice and dipped my fingertips in olive oil and drew each string through my fingers before I put them on. They have now been on 1 month and they are quite a way from dead. It added about 3 minutes to my restringing time and I am guessing I will be changing my strings about 1/2 as often.

If you are like me, and you change your strings as soon as they lose the brightness of new strings, you must give this a try.

Its easy, cheap and allows you to string less often.

Good Advice Ricochet - Thanks]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance MaxRumble https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/olive-oil-to-lube-strings/#post-16580
