    It'll last forever collecting dust hanging on the wall!!!! HAHHAHHAAA!!!!!!


    Seriously though, how many hours a week do you play it on average?

              One other thing - SS frets won't tarnish either, so you won't have to clean them every now and their either, and they feel very 'slick' and smooth.

                Yeah, like Dean Markley Blue Steels or GHS Super Steels. I used the BS strings for awhile but then went back to regular nickel-plated steel strings instead.

                  Oooh. don't say that name. That's like a 4-letter word, in most places. Besides, when DOESN'T he seem to bitch?

                    If I time warp, I can play it about 65 hours a day. I would play more, but people die, and it's really not worth it.
