I considered using the title "My G string is stained", but decided against it.
I've just gotten my first low G tuned uke. It has a wound G, and Aquila Nylgut C, E and A. I presume the G string is part of the Aquila set, but don't know for sure.
My concern is the pattern of discoloration on the wound G. There is a brownish mark, or band, around the string, corresponding to each fret. Is this common? Does it indicate a need to change the string(s)?
I don't want to be accused of ignoring a dirty G string....
