just bagged a 2for1 deal on the DR dragon strings from strings direct. £11.99+£1 for delivery isn't bad. Not tried them but they're a bit cheaper than elixirs so got to be worth a bash.
I've found that elixirs are the best if you have toxic hands like me!. saw comments about not liking the feel of them but I got used to them very quickly. I'm not sure I could tell the difference from one brand of strings to another tbh.

I don't like re-stringing so on most of my guitars I've got Schaller locking tuners which cuts the time down a lot. The only bit I always enjoy is when I set the tuner to play an A440 and I bring the strings into tune. I love it on the B and top E when you actually get the note. There's something really satisfying about it.
Anyway, that's just for whatever guitar I'm gonna use that night. For practice I mostly use an RG so I put Elixirs on that.

In 3 days time, they'll be dull. 3 days later, nasty overtones will appear.
Do you sweat purified alcohol?

Some people sweat like the creature in Alien. I let a mate play one of my guitars at a jam session a couple of years ago and he destroyed a new set of strings in an afternoon!
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.

Only on Saturday mornings I just don't sweat that much in my hands. I do play quite thick strings 11-54 I think they are and noticed last night the G has a kink in it right where I pick.
