make sure you get a tetanus shot before you play your rust wires.

For real. Wow, once a year, are you just broke or tone deaf? They have to sound like shit after a few months.

not really, if you just wash your hands before you play and keep your guitars clean they last forever. plus i use meds which last long too.

I suppose if you wash your hands every time, don't sweat, and keep your guitar in it's case when not in use, they would last quite a while.

Yeah but still, after a year, it would be noticable shearly from playing alone, if you play as much as you claim to. Try throwing a new set of strings on praise, I bet you'll notice a difference..

i do notice a difference, but i have no problem with how my guitar sounds now, so even though the sound would improve i dont see a need to spend money and time to change em

Wow! Seriously, though- a year? That's a long time. To each their own, I guess. Whatever works for you.

Haha, I'm kidding. Image
They're all over the internet, though. They're just little image tags. I get mine here. There are tons there and probably tons more elsewhere.
