Broken Strings

Unread post by dmbRJR » Fri Mar 12, 2004 12:18 pm

I did a search but couldn't find much about broken strings. I am currently playing with D'Addario EJ26 Phosphor Bronze Custom Lights but seem to break them fairly easy - 2 in the last month. Any reason for this or any way to correct it?

Get Elixirs.

Or try Regular lights instead of Custom.

I've heard of plenty of people breaking the custom lights..

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

Yea I had the same problem with D'Addrio's, broke way too damn easily. I switched to Elixirs after the D'Addrio's and love them. I dont think I'll ever use anything but Elixirs, they are the shit! :D
