Madre de Dios!
YOU TAKE ALL OTHER MARKS Electric Guitar Strings And you FOUT ILLICO in the trash.
There is no manufacturer on the planet that can match strings with Elixir.Srings home WLGore (manufacturer of plastic materials - at the base).
EXPLANATION:
___________________________________________________________________________________
The advantage is that the strings Elixir strings "file" (ie Mi La Ré grave, and the soil when it is "spun") are protected by a coating that has several qualities:
1. it allows the dirt to not get into the thread of the rope, the rope retains its sound "clear" very very very long time.
2. He keeps a good thread "tight" around the core of the rope during the life of the rope, the rope retains a perfect intonation very very very long time as well as the clarity of its sound.
3. it protects the rope from corrosion, the rope retains etc ... etc ...
In fact, the Elixir strings sound like many other "good" brands. They only last an extremely long time.
The result - although more expensive than other brands, when properly placed on a guitar, they can make real savings.
NB-1: the strings are not spun like those of other brands, meaning that the benefit of this trademark resides only in the "wound strings."
NB-2: It is vital, and this on ALL metal string guitars, strings acute change very frequently (especially before the onset of the 1st signs of oxidation). Indeed, when slightly oxidized (this is evident when they "slide over" to the touch), the upper strings act as effectively as LIMES on the frets, what is more, the more they attack the more they are fine the frets instead of "rolling" on it by vibrating.
I use particularly 10-52 (10-13-17-32-42-52), because more than one string is "hard" over it "sounds" and that's really not the 10-13-17 end of the world (I mean, a guitar mounted correctly set 10-52 is easier to play a guitar set incorrectly and mounted with rubber bands).
There are cases where this shooting (firing or stronger) is necessary even essential: the guitars a little half-boxes kind of big guitars jazz or country-rock (big Gretsch etc ...) need tie a bit "beefy" to sound 100%.
Elixir offers a good selection of rods:

In my case I discovered the Elixir strings in 1996 during a visit to Mr Bert Wills (a musician friend from Houston, TX, United States _ http://www.bertwillsband.com), and since I ' most have switched brands of strings.
These strings are like a hard drug (which lasts !!!), once tried you can not do without ...............
