Flatwound vs Roundwound

[Zaphod B]

I've been wondering if I should use the same powder on my flatwound guitar strings as on the roundwounds.

I was also going to try some cornstarch on the rounds, to see if it works better than talcum powder.

Anyone?

 

[Victory Pete]

Try some gunpowder!

Brilliant riposte.

Seriously. Your going to find it hard to work the powder into the windings of those ribbon wounds. It may be harder for you to get the feel you are after as a result.

Feel? I just want those strings to stay fresh for 13 months. Wonder what kind of powder would work?

Have you tried pixie dust?

Aha! Eureka! Bet I know where I can find some, too!

At the pixie dust shop dummy...



Duhh.

Never thought I'd type that sentence.

I'm going to work it into a song me thinks.

It's too good to waste.

Try Bisquick.

Try Bisquick.

Is that like Nesquik?

 

[Zaphod B]

Is that like Nesquik?

No, it's a biscuit pre-mix. Flour, sugar, egg white solids, baking soda, transfat solids, should be great on guitar strings!

Shake n vac?

I lined my guitar case with pancakes. Will that work?

They'll probably stick really well with some maple syrup.

That's one of the funniest questions I've ever read.

Look up "non-sequitur" in the dictionary and that's what you'll find.

Save up your dandruff until you have enough

You can always scratch at your friends and families scalps and get enough for a regular treatment. Rub it in well with that blue fluff that collect in your ass crack and you are good to go.
