[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 198006, member: 1969"] Yeah don't forget your :P -- we couldn't have that... :lol: I never thought of using the guitar strings coupled with the unbending/rebending method... the guitar string would sure add a bit of support in the airway as it is rebent (I imagine some bent stems go from round airway to somewhat squashed football-shaped airway as they are bent)... but--if you use a wound guitar string with a lot of edges, it may wedge itself in there and grip on the inside of the airway something fierce...for that purpose, I'd use a non-wound guitar string (which is obviously smooth if you compare them). That way, the soft rubber wouldn't also form to the roughness of the string and should pull right out once the stem is re-bent and cooled. 8) [/QUOTE]
