I have a confession . . .

Want to ask about strings, maintenance, amps, mics, or comparisons of different guitars or any music equipment? This is for all threads related to music equipment.

Even the guys at the stores agree with me on this one, i mean, they said dont get the d'adarios ($15) get these, they sound better longer Martin SP's ($7) i plan on getting DR's soon though.
You're getting ripped off at 15 bucks a pack for d'addarios..I get a 3 pack for 15 bucks..

You also probably play a lot more then most people here.. I only play once or twice a day for maybe an hour total.. so my strings last me a long time.. granted, when I played for 5 hours a day when i started, i used elixirs, but now i don't need to spend 15 bucks for a pack of strings when they sound just as good as a 6 buck pack that lasts me long enough
wow elixirs are $23 here. and a pack of D EXP's or EJ's are $15 or so
exp's here are 14, but the non coated ones are 6, or 15 for 3 packs.. elixirs are only 15 here..that sucks for you bro..lol
