retrosurfer1959 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Great looking Guitar those p-90's must sound great. I love the sound of the p-90 in my Black Studio BFG and I play it with 10's as a rule. Right now I am playing it with Elixr Nanowebs and so far I like the sound and feel. I have not had them on it long enough to see what I think of the coated strings on the solid body but I really have nothing to complain about so far. I went to Nanowebs on my T-5 and 335 recently and liked them so will see I guess as a little more time goes past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onewilyfool Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 I know what you guys mean.....When I see other guys getting their new guitars, even ones' I didn't know existed.....the GAS starts.....lol....thanks for all the string advice....I better get going on line and order some of these brands. By the way, I am coming from the acoustic guitar side of things......so am a little new to the electrical side.....how long do electric strings last????? I can easily tell when an acoustic is ready....but it is a little harder for me to tell when the electrics are due....thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Funny thing, a set of strings sound really cool when new, especially on a nice acoustic. By the time they finish stretching and stay stable, the slinky sound is gone. If I was recording an acoustic, I'd be changing strings every other day to capture that sound. I hear it on electrics too, but it's not near as obvious. When the start to LOOK nasty and dark (seriously, look closely at the skinny ones) it's probably time. A friend of mine says 40 hours of playing or one month. Another friend wipes his guitars down meticulously and obsessively, changes them when he breaks one. He has a couple years on some of his guitar strings. I just do it when I think the sound merits it, or I'm gonna take it to a gig. Changing strings on twenty guitars a month would be alot of work, no more than I play them. Some of my guitars have two year old strings, but are rarely played. They sound fine.
