Turns out I got about 9 weeks out of this last set, without noting the date I would have had no idea and likely they'd have stayed on for another month lol

9 weeks! I haven't changed mine this calendar year

Maybe deep down I'm really a bass player..

I used to put a strip of masking tape on the back of my headstocks to note string changes, gauges, tunings e.t.c.
I've stopped since I realised a lot of those dates are from 2015!

Everyone likes vintage and relic'ed stuff, we're just carrying it through to the strings

I stopped caring once I got into coated strings

I stopped caring once I got into coated strings

Never tried them. What are the differences? I don't really know the what the deal is on coated strings at all if I'm honest

[Danger Mouse]

3 1/2 years since my last string change. Which I paid Bg to do.

They don't rust...

[Starfire]

But it’s only the wound strings that are coated, is it not?

[NippleWrestler]

Nope. It's all.

Elixirs are the nicest coated strings to play. I have some ghs coated boomers from my last string order. They suck. Very scratchy feeling.

[sizzlingbadger]

I run Eixirs too... they last years and sound great.

Optiweb - most natural and brightest - I use these now.
Nanoweb - not so bright and a little smoother, less string noise, I used to use these before Optiweb were released.
Polyweb - warm sounding and very smooth - I don't use these, these are older tech.

Yep Elixirs are the way to go if you have lots of guitars.... I used to not play one for 6 months or so and pick it up and it would feel and play like something in the Rockshop.....

Must be about due another one lol.... or at least a clean!

[robthemac]

Pro tip:

If you buy and sell guitars frequently enough you don't need to change strings at all!

Both BC Riches have turned into bananas again, so definitely time again for a bit more love

Going for the Peter Green/Gary Moore look there with the two top hat knobs and the reverse neck pickup? If so the pick wear will only add to the vibe.
