The strings on my
Reno acoustic had not been replaced for a couple of years, and a couple of days
ago, I decided to change that since the D-string decided to bail on me. With
the guitar case over my shoulder, I paid a visit to the local music-store. Felt
that I would rather pay a couple of extra bucks to get it properly done, rather
than to fuck it up myself - but I kind'a changed my mind when he told me that
it would take almost three weeks. Instead, I brought forth my wallet and walked
home with a pack of D'Addario Classic Nylon in my pocket and my guitar case
over my shoulder.
It took me almost three hours to remove the old strings, attach the new and
tune the thing to perfection, not the mention how I managed to extend my
library of bad words. As for a first time, I am quite happy that I managed to
do it without destroying the guitar or any of the new strings. Hopefully, next
time will go a lot smoother, and hopefully, I won't have to do it for another
year or two...
