will these blisters ever leave your fingertips, or is it permanent

Mine left after about 9 months or so.
I wish they hadn't, in a way, as I now play sporadically and they'd come in handy. A steel string hurts after a few minutes now.

Not sure why this question is under religion and spirituality, but if you stop playing the guitar for AT LEAST six months to a year or more, they will disappear. I know because I stopped playing for about 8 years, and I had to start all over on building them up again.

Mine went away as soon as I switched to Ernie Ball Slinky Strings they bend easier so I apply less pressure also my hand cramped less and I could always keep my notes sounding better....plus the twang out of them are amazing hope this helps

Yes. When you stop playing the callouses will, as the skin cells are replaced over time, disappear.

Not as long as you continue to play the guitar.

As long as you keep playing, the callouses will always be there. Just be greatful for them.... the first while when you're learning are the worst I wouldn't want to have to deal with that everytime I played!

I quit playing for a few years and they left. Now I'm taking up bass, and the whole painful procedure begins again... :)
