Ugh, even the thought of that sickens me. I'm a bit of a tension junkie. At least on the low strings The .80 I have on my low F# feels fucking loose, but it's the biggest guitar string you can get without going to a specialist :saddowns:
I've got my 7 tuned to GDADGBE on 10s, but next time I restring it I'll definitely be picking up some heavier bottoms.

About 2 weeks ago I was playing 9's bending like crazy. I bought some 13s 1.5 weeks ago. I couldn't bend the G string (Gb for me, Eb tuning bitch). I played for 3 hours that first day. Now within a week of playing 5-7 hours a day, I have a callus that looks like a growth on my middle finger. [editline]21st November 2010[/editline] My fingers did break out a while ago though, I used superglue to keep them in tact for the rest of the day.

I've always wondered why no one makes a finger pad for situations where you could fuck your hand up or were injured. Then again, I've had no problems playing with those tiny strip bandages when I had blisters on my fingertips. Might have to try Mechanix gloves this winter if it happens again and my comrades go a-wasslin'.

I have yet tried to record something without the 14s on, though.

[QUOTE=Kab2tract;26207141]I couldn't imagine not being able to use R's and L's properly. That sucks, but at least you have music![/QUOTE] All my life I've always accidently emphasized my R's. It's a bad habit that happened when I was a kid. It makes me sound like a pirate.

Hey! I get asked where my accent is from. Awkward moment when I tell them I don't have one.

[QUOTE=Just2Rusty;26219449]:([/QUOTE] Please forgive me! Anyways, I wonder what deals there will be on Black Friday for guitar stuff, maybe I can get some good strings really cheap.
[QUOTE=mynames2long;26209309]Seriously? Wow I gotta try that[/QUOTE] I don't know if it's Ibanez Apex2 exclusive, but I have no problem with it what so ever. It's a bit looser than normal ofcourse, but it has enough tension to not warp the sound. Neck has the ever so slight upbow and the intonation is always damned perfect. I love this guitar.
Today I found a golf ball is this awesome y/n?
Booyah, my song is making great progress. :buddy:
