I've been touring playing 4 to 5 nights a week, and I was constantly changing my strings, I use a 12 string acoustic, so changing my strings that often was a nightmare, until I discovered Elixir strings, these are a bit more expensive than a regular good set of strings, but they are cheaper in the long run, because they last much longer, and hold their tone. and they saved me changing my strings 60% of the time. They are well worth the price.
