Uses for old guitar strings

Roland · January 2016

We generate a lot of these between us. How could we recycle them? Rabbit snares, Picture hanging. What ideas do you have?

Garrotes?

I usually coil them suitably and put them in the bottom of the next baked beans tin that goes out for recycling. They'll get metled down with all the rest.

I've used them to hang pictures.

Otherwise, only for murdering.

Badger snares.

I freecycled some once - I think they were intended for homemade snare drums or something.

I once tried to re-string an egg-slicer with a discarded top E.

Didn't work.

High E is is great for unblocking jets with...

Low E is great for tying up stuff in garden

The high E would be great in a diabetics kit to help produce small quantities of blood to test for sugar levels.

Made a couple of diddly bows for my kids which has the added bonus of having to consume a couple of bottles of beer for the parts. Admittedly that still leaves me with quite a few strings left over, but, beer.....

I had to look up diddly bows... YLSNED
