    Admire your dedication! I have shortish, fat fingers. Have at times relied heavily on 3 and 4 string chords in order to play basic accompaniment for songs I’m learning. Then gradually expand as my fingers adjust.

    I make my own “in case humidifiers” from small plastic food storage containers and common sponges.

    As one who has “failed” retirement twice, I wish you well. Hopefully guitar will help you establish the required new routine. Here’s to instruments that stay in tune and people likewise. 🙂

    Very “thoughtful”. – Love the new guitar, I admit to being jealous. 🙂

    Very nicely done. Reminds me how much I miss having someone to harmonize with.

    I love the concept. Let’s see. Open G, open D, dropped D, DADGAD – seems like many more guitars will be needed 🙂

    12 string is a great idea. Be sure to consider playability and intonation accuracy, as well as sound.

    What a great and lasting tribute! Congratulations.

  • Strings would not normally need replacing after just a month, but conditions vary. Yes, try cleaning and be sure to wipe them down after each use. Coated strings may definitely help with longevity.

    I find the 12 string is actually easier on my finger tips. Lighter gauge, less tension, pairs of strings distribute pressure. Best benefit, they make you sound better than you are 🙂
