Should last you forever until one of them breaks.

remember to wash your hand after playing and espcially before you eat

you may just get poison by the venom

WOWWWWWWw

can i melt all my gold bars in my safe to custom order few sets?

[penta-tonic]

tried snake oils. they last very long but have this kinky smell. came with my suhr. wouldnt mind having them again its just that gotta order direct so i guess its d'addarios for me plus plenty of string cleaner to wipe down after playing.

I used to have this problem too.. Nowadays, I don't just wipe down the strings, I hook a cloth under and around each individual string.. It turns out that much of the corrosion came from the underside of the string, which we usually don't get to if we just run a cloth down the fretboard..

After cleaning, the guitar goes straight into a case with a satchet of silica gel.. I've heard horror stories about people's guitar finish checking but that hasn't happened to my guitars.. And I've been doing this for years now..

Nothing is unbreakable

I recall couple of years ago, there was this drumsticks where they were using some sort of slogan like impossible to break or something along those lines and lots of drummers broke them...

Ya playing way too fast...gotta slow down dude....haze is juz getting better...no need to start another fire...

 

[sepultura]

I just use any strings I can get (D'Addario, DR, etc) but use DR's "Stringlife" coating before and after I play, and of course wipe all the sweat off. It does affect the tone a *little* but I'd rather have that than get my fingers cut by rust. It really works.
