hi all, i'm using an accoustic steel string guitar and the strings tend to get fairly rusty after about a month of usage and causes pain to my fingertips. the rusty part is across the fretboard, esp the thinnest first 3 strings. is this normal as in i need to change all the 6 strings every 1-2 months of usage?

btw my palm sometimes gets a little sweaty after a while of playing... is there any way to prevent the strings from going rusty (so fast)? i forgot the brand of the strings, it's not Taylor but the seller told me it's branded and it's fairly okay for a beginner like me...

any comment is appreciated. =)

ooo... so the grease is called Fast Fret... thanks a lot for recommending me this =)

it doesn't affect the playing does it? worried my fingers will get too "greasy" =)
