I play guitar, and every guitarplayer knows that new strings goes outta tune way faster than old strings.

[danecook321]

Yeah, because the strings actually stretch when first put under the pressure.

@fenderbuzzer Well put

I have a Jackson Randy Rhoads and I want to get an Alexi 600 LTD

I love all guitar brands, except Ibanez....

[failsallaround]

new strings can snap too. painful

[neurofire]

How true - my solution is to re-string and tune low (minimum tension for a day or so) allowing them to stretch without stressing strings or neck before tuning them to 440. I also wind minimum wire onto machine heads and seat strings firmly in the bridge.

stop wasteing peoples time ! GOD !

[fenderbuzzer]

jackson is better than esp, BUT esp is still makes some great guitars, but jacksons are way better, fender knows how to make there metal guitars. XD
