Bob Hitchcock	rejuvenating old guitar strings. (66* d)	RE: rejuvenating old guitar strings.	10 Jun 06
I tried boiling strings once, back in the 60's it was, I found a few problems with it and so never did it again. Firstly, puttimg the strings back on was a real pain as I had clipped the ends off after stringing and they did not want to go back quite the same way. Secondly, they started to rust right after I restrung and within a day they sounded worse than before. Finally, when I told the other guys in the band what I had done they poked fun at me and called me a cheap bastard, so I gave up that idea. These days I find if you go to a decent size music store and buy strings by the dozen you can beat them down on price, also you can sometimes find good deals through some on-line retailers. Bob
