    Sure... I really should have asked this as a general question. I installed D's on my MIM Standard last night. They rused after one night of heavy use. I'm still sticking with Elixirs, even if they cost a fortune. The only time I ever need to replace them is when a string breaks, which can be a very long time...

    Does "rused" mean they oxidized (i'm not familiar with the word rused, sorry).

    Hm, I don't have problems with Oxidation on my d'Addarions, but I have this problem with the Fender Super 250s. But: I like the sound when new...

    But I never used Elixir, so maybe i give them a try.

    Another D'Addario XL110, .010 user hear. I never have any string breakage problems and I bend the crap out of them. I usually buy them in 10 packs.
