How often do you change the strings?

How often?

[markg5150]

2 months, but I do use Elixirs

[Davey]

Once a month. Again, I use Elixirs.

Helps to have loads of guitars too, lol

[Distantshore]

Once a week,,,usually.

[Myst and rain]

It depends on a lot of factors. How often I play. How aggressive I play. If I use different tunings. If I use my whammy bar or not. But in general, I think every two or three months or so. But it varies.

[Lefty Robb]

on average about once every month or so, eccept during the summer when the humidity rusts them like the Titanic after 1 playing...

The longest I ever went was when I used DR Blues, those bad boys lasted like over 5 months..they just look like ass when the blue rubs off the picking areas..

[seongkeat]

for me.. mostly 3-4 weeks time.. cause u know... maybe the malaysia weather.... really very hard to keep the strings alive after few weeks..... sigh..

[mi2tom]

I change string every 2 months, not cause the string last that long but cause I'm a lazy bugger, but normally after 1 month the string is already dead but I just keep on wacking it

I remember going on stage with a dead string well, I just don't care and keep on whacking,

[mar01]

3-4 times evry 3 months..

[supermau]

Once a week or two weeks depending on the level of activity. If there's gigs afoot then strings get changes a lot.

[C.Thep]

3 weeks

[satchboogeyman]

Depends on how often I play the guitar. I use Ernie Ball strings and D'Addario. Super Slinkeys on one of my 570's,my jackson D'Addario's 10's on the rest.

[ibanez2005]

I change mine every 2 gigs. I share bass duties but i still like to change em just incase one ever broke mid-song. Plus i practice on it up until the day of a gig so......
