I've alway's loved elixer's for my acoustic guitar, but had never tried them on my electric until this weekend. I must say, that I have been fairly impressed by the sound and slick feel of these strings! Normally I used D'Addario 10-52's, and if I can't find them I'll used Ernie Ball 10-52's, but I was on musiciansfriend.com ordering a pedal board and some cables, and thought I might as well get a few packs of strings. I ran across the elixer's and saw that they had a 10-52 set so I had to try them out. true enough they do cost more, but so far, I haven't been dissapointed by the extra cost. if they last as long as the ones on my acoustic did, then they'll be well worth the cost, but we'll just have to wait and see about that. just though I'd share my good experience...
