Ah right, you're a very different guitarist compared to me. I remember playing in a band and burning through 12 gauge strings on my Ibanez Iceman on a weekly basis.

Now I only play classical guitar and I use strings that are very durable and silent when sliding my fingers over them.

Ahhh okay, yeah maybe it is a totally different thing. Part of this too is that I'm really sensitive to when strings begin to go dull, and I just fucking hate it.

Yeah fair, I actually don't mind strings that are a bit dulled. They're bad when playing for an audience or recording, but at home I'm glad they don't ring through the entire apartment building.

I do remember playing as a kid on my first guitar with cheap strings and lots of noise around at an exhibition from my music school. People had to huddle around me to actually hear me. I could've used some decent strings back then, lol.
