17, I love how this thread is just called “age” and yet everyone is giving their height and string-cutting habits. But, I can follow. lol I’m probably around 6’, not sure. I pretty much always leave my strings stock. Love the feel of long strings. I do cut them for looping and for kids though. 🙂 ---
