Thanks for the info Ron, indeed Elixir strings are little more expensive, but I thought it was because they were so rust resistant. For Gord & Terry, It's Ernie Ball strings if Im not mistaken. I tried Ernie Balls but did not like them, I use mostly D'addario light guage on both the 6 & 12 string. But you do replace them more often. I will give Elixir a try... Thank's again man.
