I used to buy Roto Sound before at Lazer for 200+, but now, iba na packaging at pricing nila,  <_< 300+ na rin so snob na sya sakin ngayon.

I'm planning to try Elixir Nanoweb, I don't gig anymore and most of the time nakasabit lang guitar ko, marerecommend nyo ba sa seldom playing?

yun!! roto sound made in UK ata..haha nice!! nagiba na nga yata sila..haha...yung last na binili ko sa JB na 200 yung Darco by martin and co..just last January..

hehe..

Elixir nanoweb

10-46 fixed bridge, standard / Eb / Drop D/ Drop C#

10-52 floyded, Drop C

Why elixir?
• ayoko ng mabilis kalawangin na strings.
• ayoko ng papalit palit ng strings specially sa floyded guitar

PS: Wala ako pakiaalam dun sa sinasabi nilang pumapanget daw ang tone pag tumagal na,
tone is in the fingers because by fingers are mahogany made in japan

I only use Elixir in one of my guitars kapag pasmado mode na ang aking kamay.....nakaka-prolong talaga ng strings sa iba kong gitara

I usually sweat 30-45 minutes after doing exercises phrasing drills.....pag tumagaktak na ang pawis, kukunin ko na si Elixir para ma preserve yung steel stings ko

Need help!

Looking for this!

Ernie Ball strings (.013, .017, .020P, .032, .044, .056)

I did some research during my short breaks, and found out na walang ganitong set (actually may hunch na ako eh). So customized sya.

Hmmmmm, san kaya ako makakabili ng ganitong mga gauges? Kht hndi naman ernie ball okay lng (Pero Ernie Ball pa din sana syempre).

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks Thanks Thanks!

(if nagbebenta kayo or may kakilala kayo nagbebenta, pm nyo naman po ako. hahahahaha!)

A good way of prolonging / preserving  your strings from corrosion (for those who sweat a lot like me)is putting a tiny bit of Petroleum Jelly on it after playing, be sure to wipe it evenly with a cotton or micro fibre cloth  ....SUBUKAN  niyo   :)

There's a downside, though... Wound "3rd" string (technically #4 string from the 7-string set).

I like wounded 3rd strings. Sounds meatier.

Tumpak! though with this matter IMO not a big deal for me when i used it, truly it is more thicker sounding than the plain 3rd.

I like them on acoustics, kaya minsan nadidisappoint ako pag nakatsamba ako ng set na hindi wound yung 3rd.   :lol:
