I was thinking that exactly. The OP just created a replacement set for a Little Martin. Now he has a good reason to purchase another guitar.

I think we've all had our stringing mishaps before. I know that I too put the A string where the E string goes once before, years ago. Not sure if it was related to coffee though.

Let that be the worst of your problems

[wisedennis]

Easy,

Buy a smaller size guitar that can use the string.

You can buy single strings from a few sources. I can get one from Gryphon if I need to.

I did but they were a different brand and the lights when I needed a medium. No worries. I was able to swing by GC and grab another set. I’ll be sure to do it right this time!

Actually, I had some good luck for the remainder of the day, so it’s all good.

Ok, I’d better get back in line then.

I checked at GC. No such luck.

Well..I came close to buying another today while I was picking up a new set of strings. Luckily I had enough self discipline to get myself out of there with only the strings. Next time will be a different story.

Stuff happens and I appreciate how. In my 46 years of playing, I’ve been lucky that I’ve never made a stringing mistake.

Guess I should’ve waited until I had another cup of coffee before starting this. Oh well…back to guitar center I guess. Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s done this!

LMAO. Do you really think this is the most egregious stringing faux pas you could have? As you will find EVERYONE has a stringing mistake story. From the rookies to the pros. Stuff happens. Thanks for starting the thread though. Lots of good posts.

Ooops....I stand corrected. LOL
