Just wait 2 days for it to arrive in your mailbox. Excellent service from Brendon and about 4 bucks cheaper than getting from the shops.

Try Sinamex in the basement of Parklane Shopping Centre on Selegie Rd

bgwguitars are actually local...
Brandon just operates out of his home, I think...

Anyway Sinamex is the official distributors of Elixir strings...
It's in the basement of Parklane Mall...

Care to recommend which strings don't rust? I get sweaty palms once in awhile but not excessively. Still, my strings have lasted literally 3x longer than other brands.

I would recommend Ernie Ball Coated slinkys and DR coated.

I feel Ernie are more Stretchable than DR both are equally good to me

problem is, coated unwound strings gets rusty once the coat disappears. but for elixirs, the unwound strings are closer to stainless steel rather than normal ones found on disposable packs.

elixirs last me about 6 weeks of normal playing before i change them, and i do have sweaty palms.. damn sweaty palms! :evil:

the coat will only go off at the area where u strum so the place where u fret won't rust.

elixir plain rust quite fast for me

Do you store your guitar in an air conditioned environment?

now that u mentioned, i'm tempted to try the ernie ball titanium plated series.. haha where do u get them and how much do they cost for phosphor bronze acoustic and normal electric?
