I've writen bout (my) experiences of wire on guitars somewhere on here - the better the guitar the more it highlights the strings - if u've an ear to hear, cheaper strings are, just that - made to a cost and made to last fairly well deliberately so, because of the alloys employed, they know people are 'driven' by price. Whereas manufacturers that use quality raw materials - obviously will cost more and is reflected in the retail price. If you have 'killer sweat' quality strings die more quickly.
Agreed. I'm not interested in the cheapest strings. As I've got a top drawer guitar, I want the best strings. And, I will pay £18 for the SC strings if they are indeed "better" than the other brands. So it comes down to experimentation, comparing them with the DRs, etc.
There's a psychological aspect too. (Which cynics might say is what SC are preying on). There's a voice in my head saying I should buy the strings that are "designed" for the guitar.
I suppose, it also comes down to how often I find myself changing strings. If the SC strings last a week, then 18 quid a pop will get annoying quickly. If they last 3 months, it's not such a biggie.
I've just got a parlour guitar for my 50th - not that standard though! But apart from checking that it had arrived in one piece I'm not allowed to even strum it until "the day". I'm looking forward to it though...
IMO SCs are the best of the best.
Sounds like a very important scientific breakthrough and not a moment too soon.
At long last strings will no longer hamper my playing.
that 3/4" can make all the difference to the bottom end.
I know, I know, it was a cheap and easy laugh, but it's my day off today so I'm in a simple mood.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
