Al,
Believe it or not, they make strings just for guitars out of all sorts of new-fangled materials these days. You can actually change out those harpsicord strings for a proper set of guitar strings.

Al really likes that "thud" sound of a well worn set of strings.

Really?
What do you like about old strings?
I might be coming obsessive about changing strings and I could use some moderating input.

they stay in tune.
they don't have that bright brassy sound.
they tend to squeak less.

maybe that's why Al's fingers have those rust stains on the ends??

But I LIKE that bright, brassy sound!!!! :D

Al's right, though, old strings DO stay in tune better.

Hey Al,
I'll save all the old strings I change out and give you a great bulk rate.
