I have to completely remove my fingers from the string when I change notes or the squeak is there, even if I am moving my finger slightly in the direction I want it to go instead of just straight up off the string it makes a little squeak. Taking my fingers off the strings means i have to be ready to mute them with my pick hand if they happen to ring out while im not touching them LoL
It does make this guitar sound real nice. I came up with a cool sounding acoustic guitar like chord riff on it just now that I really like.
Your level of callouses and skin can change that a great deal. Also, it'll go away as the strings get filled with bits of your dead strings. You can get string-glide type of products or just live with it and be more careful
And, the guitar should sound great. They're solid strings.
Remind me, when these start to deaden, to send you coated strings. You don't get that noise with coated strings. I'll eventually ship you some so that you can at least try them.
yeah they are just a bit rougher cause they never been touched before I think
Your dead skin will get caught between the winds and make it smoother - at which point the strings will be dead. It's a bit of the price we pay.
But, coated strings eliminate this, so I'll send coated strings next time. In the meantime, be lighter on the strings and you can eliminate that sound. I play new strings pretty much exclusively and you don't hear me squeaking often.1
