their sound. More casual players may only need to change strings every month or two.
For some players, even light perspiration shortens the life of their strings. The sound
of the strings is the only sure way to judge whether or not they need to be changed.
And if one string needs to be changed, the others can’t be far behind. To maintain tonal
balance, change the whole set.
When changing strings, we recommend changing one string at a time in order to main-
tain tension on the neck and bridge. The pre s s u r e of the strings holds the bridge and
saddles in place, and removing all the strings could necessitate a new setup.
Use high quality strings. The most obvious action you can take to maximize the life
and perf o rmance of your strings is to use high quality strings. Your Gibson comes fro m
the factory with a set of strings made by Gibson and designed exclusively for Gibsons.
Although the string set from the Gibson factory is suitable for virtually any style of
music, Gibson offers a variety of string styles and gauges for specialized purposes.
