I was watching a video of Northern hill country blues legend Kenny Brown and noticed his strings were hooked into the pickup poles. Is that what I am seeing, and if so, what is this for? Take these strings out of commission, similar to Richard's five-string?

  • yep, I'll second that, then the pole magnet pulled the string to he pickup...maybe?

    •   Thank you guys! Just wasn't sure if it was due to a broken string or perhaps some juicy technique.

      Had me scratching my head.

      Appreciate it!

  • Looks like the string core broke (but is probably still held to the tuner by the outer wraps) and he just kept playing.
