IM tired of my strings snaping on me. then me having to buy new strings . so im think about buying a soldering iron. has anyone tried this before??when ur strings snap solder them back together? please tell me!!!!

You can't be serious........ soldering doesn't melt the string pieces back together it just melts that soldering shit between the pieces. When you start tuning your guitar your string will snap and pop your eye and you will become blind.....forever..................................

good point

Yes, you can't solder strings back together, but you can strengthen the end ball of the string with some solder before you install them.

supposedly that helps with tuning stability too

I've never heard of anyone ever soldering their strings back together. I use a low watt soldering iron all the time, fix cables, wires, modding xboxes. Doesn't seem like rosin core solder would hold a guitar string together, esp with the amount of tension on the string when in tune. I'd say... not a good idea.

I think welding would be a better idea than soldering, but why? Buy new strings, or figure out why they're snapping.

But what would adding some solder tin to your ballends do to your sustain? Add or decrease?

Sometimes, I like to wrap my strings in duct tape before I put them on my guitar. It helps prevent fret wear.

__________________

no not serious. just seeing if anyone was stupid enough to do it.

sometimes i put nail polish over the frets to help reduce wear, but thats after i soak the whole guitar in special water and then put it in the oven to treat the wood.

no... urine water

Lead is used for soldering, and lead is very weak. Welding is what one would do in this case, but that's still ridiculous.
Where exactly are your strings breaking?

__________________

Before each playing seesion, I wrap my guitar in police line, baptise it with beer & semen, then I play it using a MT-2 as a pick

__________________

Usually if your strings snap, its a sign they are getting a bit old and shit, so you buy new ones.

I can immagine seeing someones guitar, and highest 2 strings have like 20 lumps of solder down them holding it together.

What it might be worth doing is buying a bunch of single strings of the ones you snap most (im guessing B and e). Then you dont have to wait till you have money or motivation to go all the way to a music joint.

__________________

Haha yes, mt-2 pick.

__________________

No,soldering doesn't work.
You can put the string back together using
some bubblegum though and it'll be
good to play

sometimes i like to use rubber bands instead of strings. gives a very warm sound.

__________________

I just rip new strings off the clothesline whenever i'm in need. It gives me that BRUTAL sound.

__________________

Shit i be usin Twizlers as guitar strings for years and they work perfectly fine.
only time they break is when i be takin a bite outta em when i get hungry after playin ;/

Well, once they break your screwed, but i like wraping my strings in duct tape to prevent them from breaking.
