[Leica] Best guitar string for thief thwarting.

[aaron.sandler at duke.edu (Aaron Sandler)]

Being totally non-musical I may be confused, but it seems to me that the 
string would not be able to produce in-tune notes when woven into 
straps.  If so, would this be the aural equivalent of bokeh, and are these 
(presumably modern) strings really the best choice?

Just trying to improve my understanding.
