Location: North Carolina | Some may recall I put a set of Rohrbacher titanium strings on my C2079LX some weeks ago. They are supposed to last indefinitely. After several weeks of light use, I used the guitar last night for three hours straight. The G is totally dead and the D is getting there.
I really didn't believe they would last as promised, but I had to take a shot. |

How many times have I seen one of those "unbreakable" combs in pieces?
If it's called a Permanent, why does she keep going back to the salon?
For some reason you worked through the Titanium coating and left deposits in the string maybe? Give them a good Alcohol wipe down. Isopropyl, that is. |

| The cores of the strings are titanium alloy, wound with nickle or phospher bronze, then treated.

Location: North Carolina | Well, I've never left enough deposits on conventional strings to kill them that fast. I don't know what did the stings in, but the only thing I'm going to wipe is these strings from my guitar. An failed experiment is a lesson learned. |
