Changing strings with kittens around

Fishboy7

..... Is fucken impossible !!!

Agreed. It's also impossible when they grow. It's also more painful..

Agreed. My 2 ten year old "grown up" kittens also like playing with the USB cable when I'm trying to record and leads when I'm trying to tidy them away

Yeah, it’s not a job for pussies...

One of ours has no interest in the strings, but just try and measure relief, set action height etc and he’s literally all over the guitar.

On the plus side, he does the best fret dress in the business (queue joke involving @FelineGuitars) ;

I have 3 ferrets.  I imagine the pain and dismay is the same!

I had to persuade my first cat (Gibson) to leave the room when I was restringing a guitar.

1. He didn't understand that guitar strings are not playthings and they are useless when kinked
2. He was not aware of the damage he could suffer if he got poked in the eye with a string.

Restringing a squash racket is a LOT worse!

Come on guys this is the internet, I demand to see pictures!

(As if restringing a guitar, handling a kitten, AND handling a camera isn't enough.)

I definitely have a picture somewhere, but not on my phone.

Is it easier than changing strings on a Bigsby though?

I mean that's what everyone needs to know....
