Everyone here is insane if you think d'addario aren't quality strings. I've NEVER broken one playing. Elixers are shit. You say d'addario are for starting out on guitar. Bull shit. Elixers are because they have so much freaking coating it's like your playing with condoms on your friggen fingers.

Jeez, I didn't mean to start the "which strings are better fight". I have Elixir lights on my Martin and as of this weekend D'addario uncoated mediums on my Tak. It all depends on what sounds better to you on your individual guitars. No right or wrong here!

Peace!

Ive played a few brands of strings. D'Addrio's, sounded great at first, last only a month until one broke. Wasnt impressed with them at all, good at first, after a few days well....just wont go there. Martin's, now those aren't ba acoustic strings at all. They are quality and dont fade and wear like D'Addrio's do. But Elixirs, last forever, sound stays with them, you can play hard and not worry about anything going wrong with them. I'd like to see some strings top Elixirs...impossible in my opinion.

To you its a lie, to me and alot of others its the truth. So Jsgksu has a valid point. I mean hell...if I say you look Amish in your picture with your haircut, is that a blatent lie...? Its all in the eyes of the beholder... :roll:

No, but that would be fucking hilarious..i wish i looked amish.

Why would famous musicians use d'addarios if they were cheap? Martin strings are too bright for my taste. I've NEVER broken a d'addario in my life. I played damn hard too. Whatever, there is no way to prove which string is better so lets just go mutual and say almost every string is good

Well Ranting is obviously running late, so I'll jump in for this one.

I picked up the Chet last night and promptly put my last pack of Elixirs on it. I also picked up a couple packs of D'addario EXP 15's to try next. The local ma&pa music store around here just started carrying them.
I'll just keep switching brands until I'm completely satisfied with the tone.
And as a nod to Thespian, I'm going to try Dean Markleys as well.

Thanks for the suggestions!

It's difficult to really say that "X Brand string kicks ass" because everyone has different tastes, and everyone plays different amount of time, thus the amount of time between string changes differs.

I like D'addarios, but I change my strings about every week and a half to two weeks, because I play a few hours each day, and I gig occasionally, making it necessary to change strings for brighter tone, but I only use regular D'addarios on my most played guitars, because I change strings more often and those are cheaper than coated strings. For guitars that I play every once in a while, or guitars that are in alternate tunings, I use EXPs or coated Elixer's or Martin's, since I play them so seldom, I don't want to put on standard strings, and then have them go dead without even being played.

But if you change your strings less than once a month, a coated string is probably the way to go.
