I wonder what Tony Iommi does? I guess it's not a issue.

Callouses never bother me, my main enemy is winter. For most of my adult working life as a carpenter, I endure splits in my fingertips and hands from freezing temps, snow, ice and moisture robbing building materials such as drywall mud, thinset, etc. It always feels like 3 months of razor blades poking em and despite making me sound like a wimp, sometimes the pain even makes tying shoes undesirable to attempt.

This is why I've never believed you need thicker strings for a heavier sound. Then I again, I ain't him!! (I wish I had his talent and gear, then money)
