(Post Voting Period) The resolution is pretty straightforward, Pro must argue why the average Fox News anchorman is about as smart as a rock or less than that of a rock, while the con must argue that Fox News anchormen are capable of intellectual thought, reasoning, and logical conclusions based on evidence. First round is acceptance only :D

Is the g-string the most susceptible to breaking on an acoustic six string steel guitar

2012-02-26T22:36:47-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I love guitars. For some reason I have a passion for guitar strings. I have snapped the g-string more than any other string. I snapped the g-string from loosening and even a simple tuning adjustment. The g-string is under the most tension. Furthermore, it is wrapped unlike the high e string, which is plain steel. The high e although tuned to a higher is under less tension. In addition, more bends are done on the g-string. As a resuit it wears out faster than the other strings The g-string also has the thinnest core of all the strings. For those reasons the g-string is the easiest to break.
