at one point i was using this brand of strings Elixr?sp. they were in the range of $13 - $19 per pack!! (6 strings). had to put an end to that after realizing that they only lasted a bit longer than ordinary nickel strings. what a waste looking back on it now.

I buy mine from www.stringsdirect.co.uk . I buy big batches of D'Addarios, Rotosounds or Fender Bullets and with the bulk order discount they come in around £4 / $6.50 a set.

I buy packs of singles in my various sizes too.

Cheers - C

I used Elixirs too... sound good, and they do last long to a point, but the coating starts to deteriorate on the wound strings. I went back to Ernies.

I use stringsdirect usually, but the last lot I got from Amazon.co.uk
