Even strings that have been on for a day can break if stressed.Some guitar players like new strings and discard them after initial use, while others like a more worn-in sound.It would not be ideal for your guitar if the strings are left to get rusty.

Should the strings on a new guitar be changed after a few days?
Not normally. You will get a variety of answers on this. In Rock it really doesn't matter. Replace a string when it breaks. No one will know the difference. With a classical guitar, the change in tone between new and old strings is more noticable. But I would not change the strings on a classical guitar until I broke one. Then I'd probably change them all. I have heard that some bands change the strings on the guitars before every gig. This is plain stupid.... just tying to be cool.

What is meant by Slack Key Guitar?
"Slack-key guitar is a fingerstyle genre of guitar music that originated in Hawai'i. Its name refers to its characteristic tuning: the English term is a translation of the Hawaiian kī hō'alu, which means "loosen the [tuning] key". Most slack-key tunings can be achieved by starting with a classically-tuned guitar and detuning or "slacking" one or more of the strings until the six strings form a single chord, frequently G major."
