Guitar Strings

[Marcus Torre DeProspero]

I have been going through guitar strings maybe three times every two or even a month and a half. Are there any 100% perfect guitar strings or even just any that don't rust and turn green because I hate that so much. So far I like DR and Earnie Ball. I mostly play electric guitar but I have two acoustics I just need electric strings that don't sound cheap and don't rust /suck at all.

Try some coated strings, like elixir nanoweb. I can't stand those, but they do last a long time. 

 

I'm rolling with Ernie Balls on all my guitars.

 

Also another pro tip: wash your hands before playing, it'll do a world of difference.

 No, and I'll quote the guy who use to do repairs for me.

Just click this. He used to work for PRS.

 

As for coated string, they will last 2 times longer, but Elixers are shit.  Get black beauties or other coated strings from DR.  The tone is much better, imo.  

 I have done all my own "repairs" by that I mean restringing because after six years I have never had a broken guitar. And maintenance is only half the problem.

I love Ernie Ball, but I got Elixer strings and after two week the strings were bending on the frets and became rigid very easily so those are out

Well, there's no such thing as strings that don't oxidize and wear down within a short period of time.  Most strings go bad after 2 weeks.  The only ones that last at all, a little longer, are coated strings.  DR's lines are the best coated strings.  I use neon greens on my 7 string, but black beauties are good too.

 

Best strings ever.

well no shit but there are some that don't do it for a long time

I have used Ernie Balls for almost 20 years. They haven't done me wrong. If you are burning through strings that fast, maybe try a thicker gauge and see how you like it.
