Yeah? I haven't used EB strings in forever. I have a set of BKPs coming, so I don't wanna change strings just yet, since I'll have to do it when they get here anyways. Maybe I can dig out my old Martin string cleaner and see what that does with it.

I suppose I should change the strings though. I was gonna do a before and after set of clips and it wouldn't be quite fair to have the old pickups matched with the old strings and the BKPs with new strings. Waste of strings though! Gah!

is'nt it summer in the frozen tundra known as Canada? Funny time to get frostbite! Damn, imagine what winters like :)

I went into a guitar store and played a new Ibanez HZ once, and after a couple minutes, I had the black hand too. It turned out they did'nt finish with the fret dressing. It was like liquid metal coming off the fretwire. Could it be that? Check your shirt/pants, too> :?:

How would the frets do that? Surely all the black would come off eventually, right?

And, Nick, we hardly had winter at all last year! It does get chilly here sometimes though.

You know you need new strings when you have a grimy, rusty mess all over them.

I really need some form of fret/string cleaner.

Black Diamonds will do that too, or at least they would years ago when I used them. You still may need a tetnus shot though. :lol:

Cool pic!!! Nice one, it isn't only me then! You must have put some hours in to get them like that.
