how in the heck do you pronounce this?

D adario

Just buy Elixirs though, then you wont have to worry about weird pronunciations and shitty strings.

yeah i have always gotten elixirs, but i want to experiment with a couple different kinds

is it like...dee--ad-dairy-o
?

dee a dairy o I guess

I love elixirs and wouldnt use anything else, if you want to experiment at least dont use Martins, theyre terrible. Try out the D's if you really want to, if anything else theyll make you realize how good elixirs are and youll never wanna switch again.

yeah i've been wanting to try out martin's or d's, mainly because of how much cheaper they are

theyre cheap for a reason, its your choice

I've always thought elixers sound average longer and daddarios (I use exps) sound much better for a shorter period of time.

Its all taste, Ive tried martins, d's and elixirs and when I put elixirs on they just sound so much better to me. Ive played two of the exact same guitars side by side, one with elixirs and one with D's and I like the one with elixirs more. Its all just preference.

Yea, definitely a preference thing.

I love the sound from my D'addarios. As soon as you put them on they sound great, even though they don't last as long as Elixirs.

i cant stand d'addarios, they last for shit.
I am trying the elixer nano med-lights and am stoked. i think next time i'm tryin gmediums and seeing which I like most.

btw, its pronounced: Dee-Uh-Dar-EE-Oh. best I could do, the "uh" is obviously more of an "a" but you get it. I dont like their strings, but for electric guitars i LOVE their pedals.

live near the ocean and you wont be. ddarios seriously last about 2 weeks tops here and they turn to rusted shit.

my elixers can last up to 2.5-3.0 months if i clean them after use.

*keep in mind both numbers are when kept out of a case*

the ddarios go flat really fast on me too. I will probably use nanowebs till i die

i live on the coast where i've never seen the relative humidity go lower than 100% and i've yet to have a problem with my d'add's. i've had them last for 4 months before. just throwing that out there.
