"I was always stuck in a paradox, I hated putting new strings on but I couldn’t stand the sound and feel of old, dull strings. One day I decided what the hell and bought a more expensive set of strings which just so happened to be Elixir. I then knew why they cost more than your average 5 dollar set of strings. They sound as crisp as a fresh new set literally for months. I haven't bought a different brand of strings since."
