This must be a Joke right?

I've had guitars shipped to me with wrapping around the strings like that. (Usually a piece of paper.) Kind of like the plastic sheet that goes over the pick guard and other plastic parts.


I like the colorful design, though. :)

The plastic sheets can actually protect the frets a bit. Occasionally a hard hit to the case can cause the string to dent the fret and require a dressing.
 
coming soon. special soft tip gloves for changing volume and tone WITHOUT wearing out the finish on your bass knobs AND a special discount on your next purchase of SOFTOTUNE tuning key mitts.works with chrome and nickel tuning keys.i guess they could always offer a service to send someone round to break your fingers so you cant play and wear out your strings.hail the modern world.
