I'm exaggerating honestly, but it's not once every few years or whatever. I am usually playing on an SG with 9 gauge strings. Kind of a heavy strummer. Fast alternate picking stuff, so they just kind of wear faster I suppose. Really I change out maybe once a month because the vibrations of the strings get all fucked up once they get dirty enough. Doesn't really matter how often you wipe, it's going to happen.

Op… the amount of outrage you’ve caused these people is hilarious. I personally believe how one treats their guitar is their own business. Also, something tells me you could easily get that thing cleaned.

I paid $300 for a decent acoustic about 14 years ago. Cleaned the fretboard a few times, never went full ham on it. I like to play a few hours a week. Its never kept in a case, I don’t wax/oil it, and I don’t have the stupid humidifier thing the guitar tech tried to sell me. It should last me the rest of my life (or implode tomorrow by these peoples standards). Either way, it was $300 and has made it this far.

Get over it guys/gals, it’s not your guitar. Treat yours how you want… standing by for the “well actually….” Folks
