Topic: String Life

When I got my electric I boke the high E the first day I had it. I put new strings on in March and have been happily playing them since. They seem fine to me. I've changed my acoustic about 3 times in the same period. Do electric strings stay good longer or am I just not hearing it?

Re: String Life

Nickle(silver) strings last longer than bronze or phosphor strings. Nickle is a more durable element and holds up stronger and longer to friction and weathering. Your hearing is just fine........

Give everything but up.
