umm. got 2 question.
first, how to prolong the strings life? i use gibson brite, and its very easy to corrode, especially high E string. gig bags ok or not? how much for the gig bags usually.
second, what cable u use to connect ur guitar to pedal/amps/pc? the one i use is very shit quality. the hiss sound really loud especially when distro is on. whats the best cable and approx price? not too long, 2 meter is enuff for me. i asked the ONLY music shop (which located 40+km), they got the 10meter cable with the price of RM35. i dont dare to buy coz too long+ afraid of the quality.

use elixir strings
its more expensive than usual string brands but they really last, because they have nano coating which prevents rust n corrosion, at the same time giving a real bright sound
i've been using mine for bout 3 months
with the nano coating peeling on the part where i pick n strum
but it still sounds like its just fresh out of the box [might be a slight overstatement, but the sound life on the strings are just amazing
im a convert from slinkys ]
