Hi , i have learn guitar about a year and today i got my 4rd string broken. I always wanted to change a new set of string .My problem is my string easily get rust because my hand keep sweating all the time .does anyone have the same problem like me ? is there any spray to get rip of the rust on my string ? After my guitar class i went to buy a new set of string . 1st time i ask the seller he give me a rm120 string. i was shock then i ask again , i want a cheaper one and he give me rm79.00 i ask the last time and he said the cheapest is rm 39.00 . i did'nt know guitar string is so exp. Is classical guitar string this! exp ?

i have the same problem as you, my steel strings rust in like 4 days !!
for classical i harly ever touch my sisters classical anymore but i restrung it last time, bought d'addario's for RM30.

best advice is always wipe your strings after you play

so expensive? what brand?

and wipe after every play. . . i sweat alot too. . . and keep it in a case. . .

and also dont put your guitar in a hot cold enviroment

RM120 is a bit steep for price..... I have to say that.
Even my GHS Zakk Wylde Signatures cost about 55 a pack.......

And FYI, you CAN buy single strings (or Loose strings) if you ask.

Maybe you should try out Elixirs...... VERY expensive, (about RM60-70), but they last you a long time as they are anti-rust.

wheres your guitar class? mahogany?

but yea, classical guitar strings more expensive.
i have some d'addario classical strings that i got for around RM50.

huh? why so expensive one, mine one set only 8.80 nia

120 kinda steep! i thought my elixirs are already crazy

i bought my d'addario acoustic strings for RM 2.50 a piece...
i think the classical strings are more expensive cos the thicker strings have nylon core bounded by steel..

Maybe you can get a cheap bottle of mr brasso metal polish and apply it on the strings when they start changing colors.

anyone know where i can get elixir 10-52? i can only find 10-46's at the guitar store so i'm temporarily on d addario 10-52 right now

what brand of strings did the guy recommend u??
rm120 is crazy...

8.80 so cheap ! great , what brand is that ?

Get Fast Fret. It only costs RM20 and it keeps your string alive for a longer period of time.

Guys it's classical guitar strings; they're that kinda price. I've played classical before (up to Grade 7 Trinity accreditation), so I should know =).

Anyway, you can get a real good D'Addario set for RM30+. As you know there's something called inflation and that price was when it was 8 years ago. Maybe it's that RM40 set that you bought LOL.

BTW, what brand of strings is that RM120 set? Is it made of natural fibres =S

is it too late to use fast fret when my strings are already all rusted?

lol my guitar string prices range from RM0.50 to RM1.20 (for the E string) still lasting till today, about 5 years di XD

My guitar strings also rust already, was thinking to put electric guitar strings on an acoustic.

Well it could be said to be a little too late. Anyway use fast fret from the first time you use a new set strings.

It works for me.



Anyway guitar strings are damn cheap compared to bass strings... So be thankful

wah, like u r talking abt bass strings.. tats d*mn expensive la.. i dunno abt classical strings, i know accoustic wont cost tat much if buy those mid priced 1 la..

go check out cheaper brands like Ernie balls and Rotosounds, i think shud be around rm20.. quite affordable and durable.. mine last me half a year coz my hand doesnt swt much..
