Hello people i am kind of a beginner. i have a relitivley new acoustic guitar, and play on average of about 2-3 hours a day. Just wondering is it worth me paying the extra Tenner (£) for coated strings (Elixir for example). My strings (martin 11 medium gauge) do seem to loose thier Brightness after about a week.
I mean i'm not exactly playing the most streneous riffs, and am not rinsing my guitar to its full capacity, but i have only changed the strings once in about 6 weeks. Is this bad for a new geetar? Is the body/neck still gonna be resting into shape and putting more stress on the strings?
Or are there any strings you would reomend please?
Thanks
You better...urmmm...put on your golf shoes or we'll never get out of here alive
