Life as A Figma Wifu : Gitaaa maintenance
Having two (or in my case three) loves is really hard to juggle my time between them all @_@ So, inadvertantly sometimes things sget neglected....Like Alison, my Guitar , or as Yui would call it Gitaa.
Alison
So yea, as you can see she's real dirty with dust and all. So decided to gie her a maintenance which involves polishing her and changing her strings to a fresh set. But thankfully Saber offered to help out ^-^
"Erm so you want me to cut here?"
So first step was to cut all of the strings. Now as an extra tip you really shouldn't be doing this everytime you change your strings, it's not good for your guitar. >.< So, the ever eagar Saber wanted to aid me in this process. I was literally LOL-ing internally, all she had was her plastic Caliburn....
*inhale*
*swish*
...which I apparently underestimated O.o'''' mental note to self don't make her angry.
So after removing the strings, we proceeded to remove other parts of the guitar. I gave Saber the relatively easy job of handling the Tailpice while i removed the more delicate bridge of the guitar .
Then We gave Alison a good wipe down, buffing and waxing her till she shone like new.
"Here you go Master"
After cleaning and polising the entire guitar, We had to install the new strings. Saber was catching on fast and had the pack of strings opened and ready.
"Hmm is this enough?"
With new strings installed, the next step was to tune Alison Saber tuned one entire side, while i did the other. Have to say though. She tunes slow @_@
But really, There was one thing I didn't get....why was she being so nice.
" I'll be expecting my Valentine's Gift soon"
....ah so thats why. ._.''''''' wonder what she'll do if she finds out i'm broke TT_TT
Is it a coincidence that your guitar is so similar to Yui's? Or did you buy it after K-On!? (^.^;)
Haha, I bought it after K-ON but I always wanted a Lespaul haha so yea. ended up witht his. My first les paul love was a custom though, in black and white http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-Custom/Les-Paul-Custom.aspx
your previous guitar is much better :p
LOL yea but price is killer. My current isn't even a gibby lol
Guitars sound so much more crisp and brilliant with new strings and a good cleaning. Not to mention it looks much better too. Like when light reflects of the G, B, and E strings.
But I'm so rough on strings I can see the nickel plating flake off the strings after 2 or 3 hours. T~T
Anyway...Happy Valentines Day!^v^
haha yea i know what u mean =D
But don't forget your frets. I got mine shining like new today =DD
It's hard to juggle the time and money between them all xD I have a les paul too, but with emg pickups (81-85, zakk wylde influence xD) on mine
Yea. Esp since I'm keen on photography and picking up a DD as well. EMG pickups are sweet. Tried them on my Friend's ESP and they were heavnely. Hope to get an eclipse or ESP Flying V with EMGs in the future ^-^
I always find changing guitar strings a nerve-wracking process. The potential for damaging your guitar or getting cut by a snapped string is too much. Both of my guitars are in need of new strings so it'll have to happen soon.
actually to damage a guitar takes pretty extreme stuff so yea... as for getting cut, pleased to say haven't had it happen to me once =D
I think I'm just paranoid with all expensive things. And by "damage" I mean trivial things like little scratches on the guitars more than anything. ^^;
LOL trust me scratches are normal paret of a guitars life, as one person said to me, guitars are meant to be PLAYED not displayed =D
I've been playing guitar for around 7 years now so I know that full well... I'm just the kind of person who likes things to be in fine condition. I guess you could call it mild OCD.
haha i know that feeling man >.< but wow 7 years u have to be rocking man
gitaaaaaaa <3 awesome, btw i love the peanuts in the background haha
Thanks lol. Can't help it, had to work on my bed and pillow and I dun really care much bout bedsheet designs (mum buys em OTL) so yea. peanuts haha
