@Loraine & @jumpinjeff — After I noticed the corrosion on the B string, a quick internet research taught me that new strings have a “shelf-life” of 3-7 years because they are made of metal, time and humidity can get to them. The strings I used yesterday I received in 2018. I take the blame for their condition because I didn’t use them in a timely manner. If there is one thing I would have to say about the packaging though, it would be that I wish Santa Cruz used a sealed package like some other manufacturers, since that might help preserve the strings longer.

Moving forward I am just going to make it a point to change the strings more often. I won’t be as nervous about it, and the guitars will sound better!
