Re: How Guitar strings are made, very interesting

Good stuff Cam!!!!

A few observations/questions......

That looked like one of the Nelson bros. at the end.

I'm pretty sure that show was "How it's Made", when did they get a woman narrator?

That string stretched 7 inches before it broke, wow.

How did they make strings in the old days?

Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cool. Makes me want to experiment with nylon strings on the old beater geetar.

Does anybody know why the G string is wrapped on an acoustic and not on an electric?
