I change my strings every month. I don't understand how some of you can actually tahan until 6 months. The strings will be migthy disgusting by then

Agreed. It's happened to me twice so far where in the middle of a session with my buddies, the E-string just snapped on me mid-solo.

Thankfully, electric guitar strings don't pack as much tension as the acoustics. Had one snap into my forearm, leaving a 5-inch long mark for a whole week! It hurts to say the least...

As for the D'Addario stainless steel strings, a friend of mine who works at Guitar Collections tried them before and tells me that within the first week or so of playing, the strings just go "dead" i.e. there won't be any sound coming from them. So I'm not sure if they're such a good idea.

Oh oh. And if you guys want strings for cheap, do get them from Singapore. Swee Lee's sell D'Addarios @ 3 sets for SGD$15 or approx. MYR37! Saves you a good MYR20 at least!

wow, nice price...i saw bentley selling them for rm17 per set...i usually change my string once every 2-3months...depending on playing time and usage...

wah then if anybody goes down to singapore... grab me a bunch of strings. i'm serious hehe.

Another thing abt the 3-set deal, you get 9 players' points for 3 sets instead of the usual 2 points for each set!

fine lesson in how to go OT.
wonder how much i can sell off my d'addario points for

6 months
honestly yeah they're disgusting but then dont have much cash to spring on strings so often u know

but thats with slinkys
2nd week n its alr black

using elixirs now

2nd month and going strong, still as shiny as when i bought it
plus its extra bright sound really goes with the lp low-middy tone
=D

thats what the EMGs are for in the LP

Come on, less than RM20 per month is not that terrible. Just less on non-life depending stuff like PC upgrades,handphones, mp3 players, digicams, or videogames.

sean... i heard elixirs start peeling at the picking area if you are an agressive string whacker... has yours started peeling?

since it's a floyd rose thread. Well i hope i can ask it here. Anybody knows where can i get a floyd rose saddle? I lost one of them and am not sure which shop sells them. Does bentley have them?

did u lose the whole saddle or just the string lock block? what trem is that?

he said while changing strings it got lost.
so i guess its the block.
bentley are also the distributors for floyd rose, can check if they have it.

yeap it's the string lock block. Using an OFR. Guess i'll have to check from bentley. Do you guys think Guitar store or do re mi sells them too?

they might, but it wont be OFR parts.
only bentley carries OFR parts.

yeap
just alittle only
owh
on the 4th string only
the top 3 n bottom 2 din peel
the wounded strings are more likely to peel i guess

Funny... Bentley's carry OFR parts but not the OFR bridge itself...?

Oh oh..... Forgot....
How much are the Floyd Rose locks? Just the locks.......

they did.
but seeing as how many cheapskates there are around who would rather prefer a RM200 made in china floyd copy, its not feasible to carry them.
even stores in SG doesnt carry them.
