I take every gif I watch (which is A LOT) with a humongous grain of salt. But I don't let that grain of salt get into my eye and blind me to whatever truth can be found in what I'm watching. He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.

i find it amazing that people say d'addarios suck!!! do you think the sound of Daves string suck? if no then you contradict yourself since he uses d'addarios..however i do agree a fresh set of strings always sounds better, so while the fact that he gets them restrung before each concert (if he does) may improve the sound, i don't think he would choose strings that "suck"

He always restrings though so it's ok....and where I live (Arkansas) everythings much cheaper...Elixirs are only like 8 bucks...hahahaha

dadarrios have the best sound of all strings... for a few days, dave has his restrung every night before he goes out, sooo... yes his sound is good, but have him play a few weeks on 1 set of those and he'll sound bad.

i've had on the same G-string for a week.

after a while, all this nasty sort of crust starts to build up

but then you run your fingers up and down it, and it's all better


and when it vibrates........it's soooooo good

I think dave could make a guitar with rusted strings sound good, to be honest.

It's more in his fingers then the strings, trust me.
