Hi all,

Any of you guys using the strings above? What are your comments on them? Do they last as long as they claim and how much is it per pack?

I use polywebs, and they've been with me for nearly a year without any signs of rust

it's about RM4x per pack.

I jsut swtiched from Daddarios to elixirs cos I find that my daddarios seem to tarnish pretty fast (a week or so )

Just would like to hear from other long-standing users of elixirs

i used elixirs for awhile, rm40 a pack. they last very long, and stay bright even after a couple of months
great for us lazy string changers... but sadly i had to switch to d addarios cuz i couldn't find any other brand with 10-52 gauge here

I'm using the light gauge - 009s. I find that they are brighter than daddarios. And the tension is better on those strings.. esp on the wound ones. Snappier if there is a word for it.

My daddarios wound strings feels a little slack even new.

i still like dean markley yngwie malmsteen strings so damn awesome

^
just cuz its malmsteen sigs ?

When you have a floyd guitar, I think it helps to have longer lasting strings.

At least you don't have to go thru the restringing process that often . floyd owners would understand.

Roger that.
Been an elixir user for bout 2-3 years now
been through only bout 7-8 packs

they usually stay bright till the day i snap them =/

yup. changing strings on a floyd rose is a pain.

hahha.... I thought I was the only one. It's the initial setup that's tricky, which I dread doing sometimes I end up paying the tech a bit extra to get a full restring done instead of doing it myself.

i tink elixir's market price jus raise....
elixirs go hairy after some time haha

ernie ball are stil brighter to me

How much has it risen?

What do you mean by going hairy?

Do you guys you any other products for string care? I just wipe them down thoroughly after each session.

Ernie Balls are brighter, yes, but they snap easily as well

u want brighter, use GHS.
i cannot tahan their brightness.
ernie balls to me are just right.
fender nickels are nice and mellow.

i think hairy means either the wound strings start coming off(like nylon strings?) or the rust builds up

I think if anybody's strings turn hairy, it would be time to swap them out

And I do'nt think it's just with elixirs, any other would strings would be possible too.

I tihnk he meant hairy, by the nano/poly coat starts to peel off where you usually pick.
I usually get that after a week of playing, doesn't really affect tone nor does it start to rust though.

oh yeah i get that too but not after a week

alrighty, will take note of the "hairyness"
