Elixir etc. strings on acoustic?

[deeaa*]

guys,

I think I'll give it a try. I used to have very sweaty hands at times, changed strings on my LP at least once a week back in the day - they were .11 to .52 set too but still I always broke a string or two on a gig unless they were a new set - but nowadays I get thru a dozen practices or six months with the same set. Seems my hands are way less sweaty.

I think I'll buy me one of those clip-on tuners for the acoustic while on it. I can't remember when I changed the strings on the acoustic...they might be still the original ones from 2004 or so :-) I REALLY oughtta play it more...

I recently bought a used acoustic that had Elixir's on which were almost 6 months old. I thought they sounded excellent for being on a guitar that long. One thing that I liked was the lack of string squeek as I moved chord positions. When I did my first string change to 'regular' strings, it was very noticeable that the Elixers suited my style of playing. I'll try a set once I've gone through the few 'regular' strings I have on hand. If not Elixirs, I may try another similar brand.
Cheers
