Exactly. I don't hate Elixirs but they last quite long. I bought D'Addario EJ17's for the first time and don't plan on buying a different kind for awhile. This strings sing.
ignorant bastards :wink:
they sound great, but i can't get over how slippery they are. i can't play them. i suck on them.
Every time I put on a new set of Elixirs I think they sound like ass. As soon as I put these EJ17's on I was amazed at how nice they sounded.
Exact opposite here, I think anything but elixirs sound terrible. My uncle heard my guitar (and his new one which came with elixirs) hes been playing for more years then Im alive and he thinks these strings make all the difference too. But I guess it all comes down to preference, that and being wrong if you prefer d'addarios to elixirs.
Wait what kind of guitar do you have again? Yeah I'm pretty sure with your guitar it won't matter what strings you throw on it. Its still gonna sound sweet.

hey if your asking me what kind i have its an Alvarez RD-8...yea i know its bottom of the barrel but thats all i could afford at the time and since it was my first guitar and i wasnt sure if i was really going to get serious about playing or not so i opted for something that sounded good but didnt destroy my bank account. Ive notice NONE of you guys even mentioned anything (good or bad) about silk and steels. all i know is that now that i'm playing more i'm having to put on a new set every month...no kidding. i have a set of d'addarios that i received as a gift during Christmas. maybe i'll throw those on my guit-fiddle and see how i like em......

If I ever venture to KSU and your guitar ends up missing I have no idea what happened to it. I played a 410ce and guitar center a few weeks ago and it had the best sound IMO of any guitar there.

Limited Ed with rosewood or a regular one? Ive never played a regular series one. Ive played with like 3 other guitarists at a time (my moms friends with very expensive Martins, one of which a D45 from the 60's) and mine cut through all of them, it was so much louder and stronger, I really like it. Probably dont deserve it but I like it, I really need to play out or get in a band or just find a jam buddy, Im tired of playing by myself (cue jokes)
