while i was out today, i picked up some new strings. i absolutly love how crisp and clean and good my guitar sounds with brand new strings on. what kinda strings do y'all use? i use elixir polyweb lights, mostly because there was a set on my guitar when bought, but i love them now.

elixers are shit, so are dean markleys, so are most strings on the market with me.... vincis are what i used to use but since i was the only one in town who used them they stopped carrying them, and now ive been having the restring every 8 days (at the most, usually every 5) since the ones ive been trying dont last with me.

you must really beat the shit out of your strings. i'm still not very good, so i do not so nice things to my strings pretty regularly, and the elixirs have been great.

I meant to say i use 12gauge on my acoustic and that i did not know if you got DR strings in tha U.S

I use 12 gauge phospor bronze strings with no particular brand.

So instead of taking care of an expensive set of elixirs I just change 4 times more since it's the same money.

Elixirs are overrated (and overpriced)

What strings does Dave use? Anyone know? My guess is elixirs.

I use elixirs as well.
