If those are your options and you ' re going to spend the $ 300 anyway either sick with the Asus you picked up or go to the motox if you see some features you like . <| sep |> Someone beat you to it 1100 years ago . He did it for science though . <| sep |> Ender ' s Game didn ' t even feel like an assignment . One of the few books I read WAAAY ahead of what was assigned . <| sep |> Honestly , I am not super active at the moment , so I leave the strings on until they are very , very dead or don ' t play in tune . That can be months or years . Part of this is that I kind of like it when the bass strings go a little dead . But when I do change strings , I always like it and wonder why I didn ' t do it sooner . To that ball end see what I did there ? ?, I am going to restring everything soon . I have a classical guitar , and it ' s falling apart the back is coming unglued , so I ' m probably NOT going to restring it , but for classicals , I always let the treble strings go for a LONG time until they don ' t play in tune and changed the basses every month because they are very soft metal and wear out much more quickly than steel strings . But a good set of classical trebles I use D ' Addario Pro Arte can last a long time .
