I'll second the super glue comment, but an alternative would be to learn the banjo as the strings are much easier on the fingers :)

If a banjo player picks in the woods, and no one is there to hear him.... is he still making an awful lot of noise?

(before someone else says it) Unfortunately, while easier on the fingers, banjos are also harder on the ears

Personally, I love Banjo music.... but he's got the guitar already.. Actually, he has had this guitar since we were dating  circa 1983.

Nice. Does that mean it's a "vintage" guitar, Debbie?  Wink

1983?  Let's hope he's changed strings or even Super Glue won't help.  Maybe a tetanus shot...

 Band  There is a better, more managable product than super glue called New Skin.  A friend of mine tried the super glue, and kept it in her guitatr case pocket...you can guess the rest.

New Skin is a liquid Bandaid and it works well. The Super Glue starts to peel off and it snags the strings after a few minutes. Sorry bout the superglue incident.
