Don't clip your string ends


Dub-T-123

Recommended Posts

I always cut my strings as soon as I tune it up.

 

Me too ... I don't understand the appeal of unclipped strings. Maybe it's a throw back to the days when strings were harder to get, and people wanted to conserve as much of the string as possible?

PhilX did that with one of his guitars.

 

I was lazy once and left them long until I forgot about them and almost drove the string end into my eye. They get clipped off as soon as possible now. [biggrin]

 

I have actually poked myself in the eye with the string end. Also, I had a Gretsch at one point and one of the string ends put a big scratch on the headstock face. They've been getting clipped as soon as they go on since then.

Not having your string ends clipped is like not having your nose hairs clipped or groomed. Some guys don't care, but that's why I carry tweezers with me so I can pull them from their nose. They don't like me doing that, but I quickly tell them, "groom those things then!". I roll like that...
