damn son.

I couldn't even afford that. I really need to change my strings on my seagull, I've had EJ16s on for about a month and 1/2. :D

I've had a pack of Polywebs and EXP just laying around for a couple of weeks. I'm just too lazy to change em.

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": Do you use this word? Alcoves?

If you change them weekly at a fortunate $4 a pack, that is more than $200/yr. I change my strings monthly at the EARLIEST. Usually is 2 months.

I change my strings WAAAAAAYYYYY to infrequently. I have four of the six original strings on my Tak. I got it in middle July. That is a long time. And they're those crappy D'addario EXP's too.
