Elixir strings are great for acoustic guitar(that's what I'm using on my Larrivee),I'm not so sure about electric,on acoustic they last for a long time ~ 2 months.Also,Elixir strings are pretty expensive even here,in States(~$15.00),but do you really think that any string can last for a year?This is total bullshit
I,personally,like GHS strings on my strat - great sound,reasonable price
