Valuestrings EL 11-52 : Incredible!

For this price, how can you go wrong? I bought twenty sets, and don't regret it for one minute.

My strings have always seemed to deteriorate very quickly -- they get dirty and sound dull quite quickly, no matter how carefully I wash and dry my hands before I play. I don't use any fretboard cleaning products, as I find they feel too slippery. I have tried various brands. I found that Elixirs are the most resilient, but they are very expensive. They used to cost me more than £10 Sterling a set.

Also, I do a lot of tinkering with my guitars -- I am always re-wiring and modifying them in various ways. This often means re-stringing the guitar, so I would have to wait until the strings were old before doing the work.

Now I can get strings for significantly less than £1 a set, I can change them much more frequently!
