Electric guitar strings?

[as96]

One of my guitar strings broke (I haven't changed them since I bought it, so I think they are around 8 years old), so can you suggest me a decent brand, but not too expensive.

Sure, there's probably a few builders and tradesmen on the forum, but the questions are unrelated to what the forum is for, and will generally get better, more informed answers if asked in a place dedicated to that subject.

D'addario is a good brand, its what I use.

Do you understand what this sub-forum is for? :mellow: And just the sheer number of people that play guitar?

I understand your point, but note the subforum this is in

I'm not saying he can't post it, just that other places would be a better option, as it's dedicated to it. Much like asking a question about a graphics card on a guitar forum. You can do it, sure, but posting it here would be better. 

 

Also, even in off-topic, it's still primarily a tech forum

 

At all times though, this is a tech centered and focused forum.

Honestly any brand will sound good compared to 8 year old strings: you should change them at least every 6 months or so, or if you're playing live or recording that very same day.

It's electric, it uses tech! Plus, who bothers signing up for other things? I mean.. that's work.

Ah, work, the fear of most PC enthusiasts

 

Anyway, @OP if the guitar is 8 years old, even the cheapest strings will be better than the current ones. I'd personally go for the next to cheapest, or lower-mid priced ones, it's normally your best bet in terms of value.

8 year old strings?? My goodness... I'm surprised they didn't corrode away! In all seriousness, I always use Ernie Ball 11's when I gig and record. They're $6ish a pack and last a good while without corroding or getting all slimey.
