I finally got around to buying two sets of acoustic strings this weekend so I could re-string my guitars.  The old strings have been on for WAY too long, so long that I kind of forgot how much a set of guitar strings costs.  Lucky for me, the dude at the music shop gave me some sort of buy-one-get-one-free deal that I only realized after I got to my car and looked at the receipt.  Thanks buddy!

My old strings had been on for so long that my stringing technique was a little rusty, and I promptly broke the high E string, rendering the other five strings kind of useless.  (Do people call it the "high E string"?  I am not a professional.)  Note to self: It would have been wiser to start with the sturdier E string first.  And don't forget to allow that "give" before you start winding.

So now just one of my guitars has new strings.  But they look, they sound, they feel real nice.

I'm resisting the urge to open it up and rock out until he gets back from tour...
