  • Talk about the guitarist become Macguyver!!! =) Nice Inch!

  • @y2kjericho86 i love MacGuyver! one of my favourite shows while growing up.

  • @inchchua You are very ingenius on your ideas on your equipment. Macguyver show watcher! Double wow!!!!

    You speak just fine, just be yourself, you don't need an accent to be understood. =)

  • @y2kjericho86 aww thanks, thats so sweet of you. :)

  • Pretty cool, never thought there was a use for used guitar strings. I used to use Dean Markley (can't remember if that's how it was spelled, it was a looooong time ago) Super Slinky 9s and I used to boil them before using them, it was supposed to prevent stretching? I don't know if that actually worked or not.....lol.

  • @MrMax89 i feel the boiling method makes more sense with bass strings than guitar strings. have never tried it but i figure it would make the guitar strings more brittle. i'm sure it will get rid of the gunk but i'm sure it would do other things to the strings too.

    especially cause singapore's water is high in minerals such as calcium and fluorine.

  • awesome stuff! I wonder how manufacturers "recycle" disposed wood parts of the guitars? hmm.

    turning strings into jewelry is damn creative!

  • I LOVE the intro =) Very creative!

  • @karironrwrz yes you should!!

  • @inchchua i like your accent better, just my thoughts tho :P
