String Changes
How often do you change your acoustic guitar strings? Putting on a new set of strings on your guitar is like putting on a new pair of running shoes. They look, sound and feel great and like a new pair of shoes they need a little breaking-in before you run a race. They also tend to loose their (*pun-alert) sole.
Now that I’ve got the cheesy analogies out of the way – I usually change my strings right a day before a gig. I’m a hard strummer and I’ve grown attached to the warm tone delivered from the D’Addario Acoustic Strings Set, Phosphor Bronze, Bluegrass
Besides that, I can definitely tell when they are loosing their brightness, starting to dull up a bit. So its nice to put on new strings anyway for a new audience anyway.
Tip – Be sure to play the strings for at least an hour before going in front of an audience with strings that will easily go out of tune.
