Why would you say that before you know there longevity? If they last a year than it might cost the same as regular strings. I had some rorbacher titaniums that last a year and a half with no tone loss. Sadly he fell ill and no longer makes them.

I kind of like the ritual of changing strings and trying different string brands. Gives you an opportunity to clean your guitar thoroughly too. Definitely not going to pay $40 for a set of strings.

Anyone tried them out? Sure if they last 5x longer they may be worth a shot but wow, almost 3x the price of other "longer lasting" strings seems insane... Hope they are as great as their price....but will wait on others to experiment before dropping $40 on strings...

I hear they work really well with those $40 picks.

Kidding aside, the feedback so far has been extremely positive, and they should definitely last longer than any other strings currently available.

Being a "string junkie" with about 15 sets still in my inventory I doubt it I will try them very soon. However, the concept sure sounds great. I will follow everyone's reports as time goes by.

FYI, been plenty of six string sets over $50. Don't have to buy any of them but it's hardly a benchmark.

There have been several recent threads on this topic, including comments from AGF folks who beta tested them. As Ted noted, virtually all the reviews have been positive.

Mike Zehner opens up saying, "...we've worked effortlessly..."

I think he might mean "tirelessly".

If the longevity, with no loss of tone, is accurate,the cost could be justified. My concern would be how they sound on my guitar. I'm not certain that I want to spent $40 to find that out.

Several members herein that have been posting updates on their Beta testing for Martin. So far I haven't read anything but glowing reviews on quality and longevity. Just search on titanium and you should find several reports if you want to read some.

Oooop...someone in PR is in trouble.

Chances of me paying $40 for a set of strings or $40 or more for a pick are less than zero. I learned with Black Diamond Strings and the picks the music store gave out for free. I use D'Addario strings now and I spend a little more for the Primetone picks.
I'm sure spending more for strings and picks won't improve my playing anyway.

Im concerned with playability and tone. I dont want to spend 40 to just try them out like I have with other strings. I might spend $20, I dont know.

[Kip Carter]

I'm thinking I will put a set on my D15.

Wondering how they might do on an electric.
