What is your favorite brand of strings and why?

My favorite is the John Pearse as they have the brightest sound from what I've tried and they also last the longest.

I use the Argentines....but also like the Gallis and use them sometimes.

As I dealer, I can tell you that the Argies out sell everything else 10 to 1.

Argentines last the longest and sound the best. That's why Hot Club Pacific endorses them.

All Argies, all the time. The Galli V27s aren't bad though, if you're looking for a cheaper alternative. However, I do have a John Pearse story...someone gave me a set maybe 3 or 4 years ago and I put them on a flattop I keep at work. They're still on there, and they still sound surprisingly good. Or surprisingly okay, at least. I only play that guitar maybe twice a month, though, and rarely for more than an hour. Still, if you figure 18 hours a year, I'm going on 54-72 hours on that set!

Best,
Jack.

A month is about right. Some of the other brands don't last through a gig!

I'm just curious, since we're talking about strings...

What gauge do you guys use for the Argentines?
I use the lights for my dg-255, anyone have any experience with which gauge brings about a better sound/tone for the 255.

I also know alot of players who combine both the lights and mediums as well.

Yeah, John Pearse lasts about that long, maybe a little longer. Did Savarez fix the g-string that suposedly broke all the time?

And Gallis last about a week for me. The g-string started unwinding in a week and all the other strings sound dead now.
