Seems to me you can play a couple of months without having any complains about loosing tone. Once played at a guitar for two years. Now i use some fredboard polish and snares stay clean and sound good for a long time. am i foolish or what???

Greetzzz

How long should I expect my strings to last? I'm super paranoid that I'm going to snap one and have to go a day without playing while I run to the store to pick some new ones up. I've been using D'Addario EXP's for about a month. I'm not too rough on them, generally some gentle pick use or fingerpicking, plus my guitar never goes out of tune (unless my sister trys to play it). Anyhow, that's my question, how long should strings last between breakage or loss of tone.

Ah hell, I spelled String wrong in the title...oh well
