A QUICK FIX

Unread post by riffduster01 » Wed Feb 25, 2004 10:13 pm

I just snapped my thrid string and i was wondering if a 2nd or 4th string could take its place? would the different string tensions hurt my guitar in any way?
It would only be temporary until i can get a new string.

if you do it constantly it might harm it, but it usually is very unplayable and uncomfortable, just wait til you get a new set

it'd work, but youd regret it
it would be rally awkward and the tension would be all screwed up
just wait
