really?.............every few songs??.... cause guitar strings need a couple of days to settle down after they are changed to keep in tune for long, they warp and strech and then find a new point where they can be tuned and stay tuned................ how many guitars does he have back stage then.......... i could see him changing strings every 2 or 3 shows maby, but songs............thats just plane self indulgent.

the band's site tech page I could have sworn they said that he gets new strings every show. I dont knwo how many of each guitar he has sitting around, but im sure they are all newly strung and stretched etc....

but changing them multiple times a show is somethign i have never heard of.

Defintaly dumb.
No need of that.
I replace mine every month and they sound great till the end.

andi play the fuck out of em.

First of all, every few songs is impossible, isnt practical, or necessary. He hardly ever changes guitars unless hes going to drop D or raised b. I wouldnt doubt he changes every show or every few shows, but every few songs, come on.

That is just something I read on here from someone who had front row seats and said he saw monk restringing guitars all the time. I probably should have stated that in my orginial post.

martin lights, there cheep £7 ($13 ?) for 3 sets from ebay and sound great, very springey , but i say change at least every 2 months, more if you play a lot.

tch light strings are for weenies

I refuse to use anything but medium guage strings and Ernie Ball Earthwoods Medium Guage are my babies, I dont use anything else for my acoustic. I use Blue Steels on my electric though.
