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.

i find that on electric i don't get nearly all the string squeals as acoustic. I really don''t think elixirs are necessary for this.

Especially since they are nickel, or stainless steel, you should have the same kinda of corrosion issues associated with bronze or phosphur bronze.
