I could never understand why people think Elixer are expensive.
Ernie Ball Earthwood strings cost about $9,50 here in Canada and last me about 2 to 3 weeks
Elixir cost about $25.00 here in Canada and last me 3 to 5 months
About the same length of time a 4 or more sets of Ernie Balls so roughly half the price.
Keep us posted they should last you at least 3 months or more.
