How frequently do you change your strings ?

[FF666]

Never

Never

me too, i never change the strings, instead i´m buying a new guitar instead, works so much better and gives you immediatly the BOOOM
lol


just joking.

i change the strings on my two main axes quite often during regular time (if i´m not recording anything), about a new set all 2 weeks
i´m using ernie balls and pyramid on them.
i play my main guitars every day for at least one hour

but on the other guitars i have, on some i have elixier and on some ernie balls or pyramid too, and i change those about all 2 months, and the ones with elixier about all 3 months

and of course i clean the strings with a cloth after playing

its not about dirt or crust on the strings, if you have already rust on your strings its really about time to change the strings as the rust can also damage your frets and you have more fretwear on them.
but you notice that the strings get old when they go often out of tune and the intonation isnt good anymore too, and this is what me annoys the most on old strings.

i buy all my strings in big bulk familiy packages to save some money, doesnt make sense either to invest lots of money in good guitars and then you cheap with guitar strings and never change them

If I'm just messing around I change them whenever they start to feel a bit dead/dull. Normally every 3 months or so (I have 6 guitars and honestly don't play them often enough!)
Always put new strings on for recording anything serious though.

This.
