Tom Cooper Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Anybody have an idea of how many strings the Beatles burned through in their Hamburg days? I’m curious about it as they didn’t have a lot of money back then… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnyman Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 My guess is that flat wound, heavier gauge strings were more prevalent back then and would typically last longer. Wasn't there also a tendency to boil them to rejuvenate them? Or am I thinking of motor cycle chains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
