I don't know about elixir ones, but my aurora set has all 6 strings coated.
@girlpants: Aurora strings are coated and COLORED, so if you feel like decorating your guitar, you should try it. They look awesome on mine and I love it. $16 a set at Davis
PM Seekz, ask if he can bring in GFS humbuckers for you.
hey i have a question, are my pickups (dual humbuckers) on my guitar supposed to be able to be tilted about? i found it weird that i could poke them and tilt them to a side.. is this supposed to happen? or do i have faulty humbuckers!? please advise. ive got an LTD guitar btw.. thanks

Acoustic Guitar Lessons
Do you need a special type of guitar?
The simple answer is No! For a beginner, any (nylon stringed) classical guitar will do the job.
A solid wood top produces a better tone than a factory laminated wood guitar.
A tapping plate needs to be attached on the top of the guitar. Genuine flamenco instruments already have these but any decent guitar repair shop or Luthier can stick one on for you. Right hand tapping techniques can certainly damage the guitar if this protection is not there.
Flamenco guitars are generally lighter in construction. I personally don't like heavy guitars. For me a guitar must feel comfortable and "user friendly". Heavy wood guitars like some classical guitars don't do it for me.
It was my opinion about guitars.

I am afraid that's there's no such thing as aluminium strings.
You might want to check out the Titaniums fron Ernie Ball and I've heard really good things about the Rohrbacher Titanium strings too.
Assuming yours is an acoustic, the majority of strings are made out of various combinations of copper, phosphor bronze and tin.
Why so? Because I assume that during the formative years of the modern acoustic guitar, they tried all sorts of materials and decided that the mentioned materials sounded the best.
Aluminium strings, well, to be honest, I'm not sure if I'd like its tone.
Secondly, aluminium is expensive. I'm don't think I want to pay like $30 for a pack of uncoated aluminium strings.
What you're probably looking for are coated strings.
The string-market is mainly divided into coated and non-coated strings. Coated strings cost a bit more but can last you a whole lot longer due to their special coating (method of coating differs from brand to brand).
Un-coated strings are just your normal strings.
For coated strings, check out the usual suspects of Elixirs, Cleartones, Wyres, D'addarios EXP etc, the list goes on.

pickup swap should be complemented with a deserving amplifier...

Hi guys great stuff, nice to see the guitar prices are included. how about the rough guitar service charges. I would actually like to know the estimated charges for changing a neck and installation of new pickups (neck and bridge) lets say for a telecaster. just the service charges will do, i'd be providing the neck and pickups

Prices are all up to the individual shops. But, most of them charge $20+ per pick up swap.

Don't think any place in Singapore sells that.
