Elixir Strings

[Todd Madson <crash@waste.org>]

I find them NOT as bright as regular strings, however, you can compensate
for this by judicious use eq on the high end of the guitar signal.

They do last a long time, though.  Almost absurdly so.  I once decided to
see how long I could keep them on a guitar and one set lasted around 9
months of 2-4 hour a day playing sessions.  Yes, they were real grungy and
dirty when I was done and they were pretty beat.  I know of no other
string where you could get away with this without the strings rusting.

Maybe Maxima gold strings, but those are alot more expensive.
