   I hate this. I tend to leave my strings a little longer to avoid the thumb-poke.

   Makes you feel like a hard rocker when you bleed for your music.

   Define ‘regular,’ like every time you restring? YES!
   I’m so glad you posted this, I feel ‘normal!’

   Yeah Eric I’m still stoked about the Takamine – still holding out while everyone jumps aboard the Taylor train. I will admit that Travis’ and Rob Coblentz’s 700 series sound great, but who has that kind of cash?

   And yes, I do this almost every time I change strings even though I try my darndest not to! GRRRRRRR!

    Far more often than I’d like to admit.
