    Question: Can The Guitar Strings Be Swapped With Other Strung Metal Like Some Type of Wire?

    By GnShot 1184286716
    • GS

      Any type of wire can be used as long as it is very very very sensitive and flexible. The string i used is about 1 or 2 hair strands thick. You can also put little squares of tape at the end of the antenna so that it is even more sensitive.
