Ok, it just happens that I try to get the most out of my strings, clean them as soon as I put down my axe and so...

MAybe is the cornerstone newbie question but... how long should a set last? :confused:

My seven string guitar strings lasted ages... I replaced them maybe 5 months ago (I shouldn't say that I can hear the mocking coming)...

But seriously... should I replace them as soon as they loose the shine or wait till they brake to add a whole new set (I never put a new string with old ones).

And please... don't laught at me, at least not in here, you can do it in the privacy of you own home. :(

By the way I use d'addarios 10 gauge in all my guitars except from my Dean with FR... that would use 9 gauge.
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kinda neat.
