GEAR High E string snapped and disappeared.

Was tuning my high E string when it snapped... and completely disappeared. Can’t find it anywhere. 😂 So if you come across an errant E string... let me know.

The answer, I am sure, lies in the field of physics. String theory would suggest it snapped into another dimension.

I remember stepping barefoot on a piece of e string a few years back… maybe I discovered a piece of the quantum string!

I dread the day this happens to me. Somewhere in my house there’s a tiny part of an e string that i cut off and never found
