With my elixirs I play almost daily and its nothing for me to leave them on there for more than 2-3 months, those strings are just awesome and definitely worth the extra cash, they last.

About every three/four weeks. D'Adarrio's turn green really fast.

Unless your super rich and enjoy the Elixirs.

I stopped at GC and bought 3 packs of Daddario EXP light strings for my 12'er. They were in a basket marked down inventory close out or something at $10 each instead of $15. I usually get the regular ej26 but it's a bitch to change all those strings every month. Hopefully the EXP strings will give me an extra month of playability.

I change strings whenever they turn green and start eating my fingers. Me so poor...

2 months, and mine wear away slower than you guys, and keeps the tone more, so my 2 months will seem like 1 month for you guys. Why? My strings don't get hammered with a little peice of plastic over and over again

At least every two weeks, usually for frequently.

I use Elixirs and always buy two packs at a time. Put the first one on, use the second to replace strings as they break, and when I run out of strings, go buy some more.

normally it takes one to break for me to get up and spend the money
