Really wanna slap myself right now!
Started restringing my guitar and like a complete idiot, I put the A string where the E string goes. Already clipped it too, so just wasted a set of premium D’Addrio strings. So frustrating. 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!

Some reason you cant still use it in the proper position?

Probably not long enough now to reach he A peg.
I’ll admit I have done similar, but caught it before clipping. Probably couldn’t find my reading glasses lol. In addition, I always try (as I’m sure you do), to have a few extra sets handy. Any way, yeah frustrating and a lesson learned. Sounds like you have the right attitude about it. Laugh it off, and move on.

Not that specifically, but one time I wasn't paying attention and tried to tune the low E to the the higher octave and a third of the way there it snapped. A true testament to how well the bridge was glued down.

Add me to the list of those who've done it too. It is frustrating. Hopefully you've got extra strings.

One time I clipped a string at its post, instead of the post above.
Stuff happens.

I almost forgot that experience - till I read this! You had to write it, right?

I think the optimal words in your post Barry are "one time". I've not done it since and I think it was partially due to the fact that I was in a hurry. Like the old carpenter adage...measure twice...cut once!

Sheepishly raises hand. Thankfully I've only done it once <knocks on wood>.

If that’s the worst thing that happens to you today then I think you’re doing pretty good!

I’ve been known to get distracted while watching a ballgame and do silly things with strings…

Remember when you could buy single strings at the LGS?

Good excuse to buy a mini/short scale guitar.
I've done it many times. That's why I have spare sets on hand. I donate the other 5 to my on-hand single spares.
