String question from a newbie.

Hey Buco, not sure about the vinegar idea. It's acidic. I wouldn't probably get it near my guitar but seems to work ok cleaning the bathroom :-)

I know, use at your own risk right
I diluted it with water, forgot to add.
It really freshened the sound and stayed fresh for a few days.
I also used to use water diluted medicinal alcohol. But this was mostly me being curious this time. I used these tricks in my former life in Sarajevo when economics didn't always allow for a fresh set whenever I felt it needed one.

Well, the Galli's arrived and they seemed fine and to me felt and sounded better than the Pyramids. They lasted well and I have used a couple of sets of them. But this week I treated myself, and the guitar, to a set of Argentine 11's. As some have said before, they really are great and are my favourites so far. I'm not sure I want to use anything else now. They feel really comfortable if that makes any sense and seem so positive and responsive.
Thanks everyone for your previous comments.
