I've got that Alien sweat that eats itself through the ground and I'm sweating like a whore in church even with the AC running like Usain Bolt chased by Death. Usually I change strings every 2 weeks after 2-4hrs/day of playing. I've put on some Elixir strings almost 3 months ago and maybe, just maybe I'm starting to see some discoloring here and there. The sound is still that new, fresh, metallic one that we all like. I was really sceptic at first to pay this much for strings and to be honest, my bs snake oil detector goes off when I hear toothpaste/washing powder buzzwords like 'Nanoweb' or 'Optiweb'. I have to doubts any longer. If Elixir were about to start a cult on a remote island, I'd join them with my family.
