wowwww. tell her that she owes u the money for it now xD
lolol awwwhhhh
The fact that Elixirs are $10 a pack for electric strings doesn't change the fact that they're susceptible to a wire cutter. Same goes for any other strings you buy for a guitar. In this case, it doesn't matter if OP was using cheap Wal*Mart strings or Elixirs, they got cut regardless.
Yeah. I was just trying to recommend a good brand... And strings are more like $15 or 20 a set.
elixers cost ten bux and last about 3 months (if you play alot), and they have a great sound that lasts longer.
Make her pay for new ones, if not break something of hers.
Wow 34#, that's really cruel for $5 or $10 guitar strings. How do you go through life with thoughts like that ? :x I hope you're not hated...
I say smother her.
YDI for not taking better care of your guitar.
Ouch! If you pull that one off OP then you are my hero.
maybe she will leave them for u in her will?
lmfao
33- lol I would do that
Damn, is your grandma amish or something?
oh my god your grandma cut your 10 dollar strings what a horrible life
I'm a little more concerned that it was on the floor.
197, I'm guessing you don't play guitar because a Les Paul is very expensive and should never touch the ground.
give ur self two since 216 is an a-hole ^_^
Stupid bitch, I'd break her hip and tell her it was the devils idea.
Wah, ******* wah. How about you save up and buy a titanium set so this doesn't happen again. But seriously though, $10 and about 7 minutes of your time has been wasted. You whiny bitch. Oh and to #4, you're having as much of a strop as the OP. Grow up.
You dont get it do you? The point isnt the strings, its that the les paul was found on the floor. It was probably scratched or chipped on its way there, or scratched by the grandma's scissors or whatnot.
"Wah-*******-wah"? My guitar makes that sound too!
LOL @ Raven. Win.
It never said Gibson, it very well might be an epiphone "special" (shudders). Also, this is why you don't leave guitars out. Or get ones that can't stand a few scratches. Tele's don't look good until there's no paint left on the front.
win!! I use ESP,that company makes guitars which can play some real demon music!!
I don't think Grandma's familiar with the Golden Rule. I say you steal her knitting needles. That'll show her.
lol
i like how you think
Burn her yarn and tell her she was knitting "devil mittens"
**** your grandma for being a religious freak
Yes it does. For non-religious people, the devil doesn't exist. Idiot.
Generally that would be the assumption when your grandma goes around breaking guitar strings because she believes her grandson plays "Devil music." Just saying. Then again it IS just an assumption, but an assumption that can be well backed, I guess. ;D
Some people here don't know what religious means. :o I believe in God, and I'm not religious.
re·li·gious (rĭ-lĭj'əs) adj. 1. Having or showing belief in and reverence for God or a deity. 2. Of, concerned with, or teaching religion: a religious text. 3. Extremely scrupulous or conscientious: religious devotion to duty. So what you are saying is, you believe in God, you just don't care for him much?
Yeah #36, you're religious for believing in an imaginary character in the sky.
That was a really original comment!!! I cant belive nobody has mentioned that in the past 76 comments!!! Thank you for your contribution!!"

Comment Mod- What the ****'s going on here?
PUT HER IN A RETIREMENT HOME! One where they force elderly people to pick cotton.
Sounds like that old episode of Proud's Family on Disney. Edit: Oops didn't know I posted twice. Thought it didn't post.
Seriously? Guitar strings aren't very expensive. Replace them - it isn't hard. This is in no way an FML - if she had damaged the guitar itself, then it'd be worthy, but strings? Come on!
i'd say that the fml is in the fact that his grandma is a religious freak ok?
yeah, but removing all the strings at once can warp the fretboard, dumbass
The fretboard will start to warp if the tension the strings create is missing for an extended period of time. A day or two won't hurt. If anything, the most the OP will have to do is a slight truss rod adjustment, and I doubt he'll even need to for this, since I assume he plays it every day, and his grandma probably cut them that same day.
Feck off troll - it takes time for the fingerboard to warp. Wood shift takes time, and if it took enough time for him to notice his unstrung guitar such that it were permanently and noticeably damaged, he should not be playing a Les Paul in the first place. He found the guitar in his bedroom - it is almost a certainty that he found it within 12 hours, and as such, any damage would be temporary and microscopic, fixed simply by the reapplication of the tension of new strings. On the off-chance that he didn't return for several days, there exists a thing called a truss rod, which exists for the express purpose of correcting neck warp. I suggest you learn more of wood as well as guitars before correcting someone. I do feel sorry for OP having to deal with his grandma, I just don't feel it is an FML
Yeah run screaming from the bible belt bitch before she starts burning crosses on peoples lawns

Show it anywayComment moderated for rule-breaking.
Show it anywayHaha that's what I was thinking, it would be A TON worse if you have a Floyd Rose. Such a pain to restring. But still, FYL, hope you can restring it before the neck warps
The fretboard is designed to have the tension of the strings on it. Removing them all at once can warp it, which decreases the sound quality.
Whilst you're right that it can warp the neck, it does happen instantly. You can leave it stringless for about a day.
