Do you put new strings on before every gig?

    I have corrosive sweat and an aggressive vibrato. I used to change EBs every gig and now use Elixirs for four gigs before changing them. 

    If I try to push the Elixirs to five gigs I occasionally break one - they do become brittle over time.

    I think strings have improved a lot over the last 30 years. Gigging now i can keep the same strings on for quite a few gigs, maybe 10-15 gigs providing i clean them after the gig. 
    Years ago i definitelly had to change them more often. It might be that I'm just less "tough" on the strings now of course - and i don't remember cleaning the strings as much as i do now.
