Rust? Uh, I think that's from the drool.

Wow. Should I change from Ernie's Balls? They're so slinky and pink. I have no idea. I change strings when I sell the thing. Which is pretty often this year. I guess I don't do enough with them to notice. I have like five packs right now to load into project guitars.

I am not into idol worship, but it'd be nice to know what certain types of players use according to musical style. I have to admit a lot of times I go by packaging. Dean Markley graphics FTMFL. D'Ads are boring looking.

I bought some DEATH cigarettes once for the skull on the front. They tasted like shit dicks.

Dude, try washing your hands before you play and wiping the strings down when you're done.
I always have to wipe the strings and whole guitar down after a practise or gig as my acrid sweat gets over everything and corrodes the fuck out of my guitars
