Well that's how would do it anyway. A guitar with new strings sounds best when the strings are fresh, not when they're already on for a month.

You'll get a fair amount of disagreement on that one. Some like strings to be good and "worn in" for that "tone". Depends on the string as well. Martin Retros sound very good with three to four weeks on them and beyond. So do certain of other brands in PB. YMMV.
