| Can't get aluminum baseball bats over here and she wouldn't risk splinters off the rough hewn 2x4.
No, she'd LOOK at me. Know what I mean? REALLY LOOK at me.
My blood runs cold just thinkin' about it. :eek: |

:eek: Hence the expression, "if looks could kill..." (failing that, how 'bout an aluminum cricket bat?) |

Wait, no I dont.
Although if I follow the earlier suggestion with the camois leather and such I'll have one of those. This is really getting complicated. I should have picked an easier instrument. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | I found that not washing my hands after eating a greasy hamburger, or better yet, an orange, has more effect on string life than sweat.
Yes, I have been paid in hamburgers. |

Location: Mexico City | I have a big problem when it comes to playing the guitar (and actually when shaking hands with other people): my hands sweat like hell! Do you recommend anything else besides washing them every time before playing for extra care?
In the other "hand", I don´t think you can´t keep your guitar from getting some dirt while playing. It´s like trying to keep a new car safe from scratches and dirt (or an ipod...). But I agree with taking at least a few precautions for giving a longer life to your guitar and strings.
Thanks!

The jury is still out on the hand sanitizer. You can try it too, if you like! Doesnt appear to do any damage. |

KFC is pretty much a no-go too. |

I love this board, :D

Clifford, do you have some unresolved issues with your mother? |

On topic, for a moment. (sorry) :p
I think the overuse and uneccessary use of ani-bacterial products have contributed to the growth of superbugs in our/your health system.
Better to just clean your hands with soap and water than over-use germicidals. Use it when it's needed. |

BTW - I've got several friends who've spent time in BC and Vancouver and they all think it is pretty close to heaven on earth. I tried to drive over to check it out once, but I got water in the carburettor. |
