Saturday night guitar maintenance begins this evening with restringing and checking the intonation on my 2010 Fender Custom Shop ‘63 Stratocaster Relic!  

I use Rotosound “Yellows” (10’s) on all my Strats and Telecasters (I use 11’s on my Casino, my ES-330 and my Les Paul Special.  I use 12’s on my Rickenbacker 325!). 

I used to try and change strings at least once per month on all my guitars…which may sound like a lot, but when I was gigging full time I would change them every 2 to 3 days!  Of course I ONLY had 2 guitars back then…  

Anyhoo…like I said, I used to try and restring each guitar once a month, but as I collected more and more, I found that I don’t need to.  When you have a few guitars and use them all the time, the strings die fast…when you have more than 2 dozen, you can’t possibly play all of them enough that the strings require changing every month. So nowadays, they get changed every 2 to 3 months!  :D
