Which electric guitar string brand can last long/tahan lama??

[TravisK]

I use and always have been, using ErnieBall Hybrid. (9-46)
Personally, it's pretty tough and no matter how much i detune and retune, it doesn't stretch. Not by very much that is. And i don't wipe 'em after playing or gigging.
And i practice at least an hr everyday too.

Thing is, i changed 'em once a month.

And that's pretty recommended.

any strings would do ... as long as u played it often it wont rust easily ... IMO

Looks like ErnieBall is the fave choice here.

Ernie Balls loses its brightness way too early for me..
Still stick to DRs.. The last time my string snapped was like more than a year ago..
I change often whenever there's rust, meaning in every 3 weeks at least..
Sweaty palms you see..

haha!

I love the feel of the slinkys but its true! they can lose their brightness after a while. Thats why i keep changing em!

just change your strings regularly, like, once every 2 weeks, i do that, no brown fingertips or snapping strings.

2 weeks,too often already!should be able to "tahan" longer before rust accumulates

 

[permutare]

yup, even if rust still gotta bear with the rust...
i change every 4 weeks with Super Slinky 09

I like ernie ball, both regular and super slinky, using regular slinky on my les paul, using D'Addario (.011-.049) on my sg special.. i use the string cleaner (sweaty palms too haha) after i play everytime, but i feel like the d'addario rust faster than the ernie ball..

any brands as long as you make the effort to clean...

Dean markley blue steel user here, they sound damn good new, but after 2-3 weeks, it starts feeling and sounding not as good as it did.

Elixirs are worth the price tag, for they really do last. Still using the set that I strung about two months ago, average play time. Still feeling and looking pretty new. Yes, I do wipe them down after each session and I use fast fret as well.

In direct comparison, the Slinkies and Mangan that I've on other guitars go dull in around a month or so.

curt mangan
cheap
lasts long
feels good

well i guess for the price tag, it better last if not the cost isnt justified. Im thinking of trying a set to see how it measures up to the anti-rust tag. After all 17 bucks isnt cheap...and i normally change strings every month and the dr strings i use cost about 7 bucks.....

anyone tried B-52s?

 

[subversion]

the reality of it is, there aren't strings that won't rust, it's how the manufacturer delay this deterioration.

Thats why changing them fortnightly is not too often for string changes.

for many of us, this is agreeable/ feasible
