We Can All Use A Laugh

I think this is guitar related enough to fit in this category. I don't know about you guys, but this made me smile.

No matter how many times I change strings, I always think that's going to happen.  I've only broken one string like that, but the end of it gave me a small cut on my hand when it snapped.   

 

[croquet hoop]

I always ostensibly turn my head away when I replace the B and E strings. I never heard of someone losing an eye because of a string breaking, but I can't help it.

its not the stringing up that gets me..... I always cut all six strings off, then have to remove those %#@$%^ing remnants off the posts.  When I'm doing that.... I worry about, and usually get, stapped in the finger with the end of the unwound strings

Oh yeah, a poke in the end of the finger is nothing to laugh about. That sheet hoits!

Pfft. You're all just a bunch of pansies. Man up and quit whining.

Or wear a welding mask and thick leather gloves like I do. Snapped strings bring the ouchies. :laughing11:

Pshhhhhhh Try dodging a Low-B string. After using a useless crappy headstock tuner than just couldn't pick it up despite the guy in the shop saying oh it picks up 5 string bass fine..... like balls did it . :tard:

I used to have a friend who played the harp.  That thing was frightening to string.

I would imagine a bass string could take your head clear off.

open pianos freak me out to no end, I refuse to stand next to them

 

[hannaugh]

My coworkers and I had to carry the strung up guts of a piano out to the trash pile once when we were gutting piano for a play.  That was a little scary. 

 

[swarfrat]

I have poke a high E string into the cuticle of my nail once. Hurt but nowhere near as bad as reaching into a box in the garage and grabbing a wire brush that shot a wire under my nail all the way baxk to the cuticle.yep, traversed the entire length of the nail bed.

Yea baby, I have had those unwound strings drive themselves right into my finger deep enough where ya gotta pull them out.  Dat don't feel good.  :sad:
I never do it without a pair of needle nose pliers any more...  :icon_tongue:

 

[Strat Avenger]

'Been stabbed in the finger several times over the years, and it sucks.

 

[Cederick]

Ha, I was having those fears yesterday when restringing my guitar hehehe.

 

[Great Ape]

Can't you people come up with something better to Harp about....( :toothy11

 

[stubhead]

Yeah, I put like three pair of pliers and a knitting needle to fish 'em through in the same box with the clippers and string winder - you don't actually have to get too near to them. And if it's something weird like a Bigsby or a steel guitar headstock, you can do some pre-bending to get them to behave a bit. If they ever make slavery legal again and I score one somehow, that's gonna be their first job.

 

[ghostrider]

LOL,  I know I'm definitely thinking that along with getting stabbed. A few months ago I stabbed the pad of my finger so deep I felt the string grind against the bone. Not only did it hurt but the feeling made me somewhat nauseous. It's hard to describe. I guess the closest thing would be like fingernails on a chalkboard... but on your bone.  :confused4:
