hm, "when they start to sound dull"...who will tell me/him that they sound dull when he/i don't have the impression even after a few months...one my friend once told me that he had one string set 2 years on his guitar!!! and he had the impression that they still sounded good. of course, experienced guitar players have "the time to change the strings" in the ear but how a novice should know when to change them. advices like "you will hear it when it's time to change strings" are useless because in the ears of the novice they may sound "good" until they break, really. i think that to know the time is a matter of a few year experiences of playing. so my advice is to change them regulary every two months at least until you learn to know the time for changing, what will come naturally after years. moreover, though strings may sound good even after 2-3 months, they should be changed becuase too worn out strings don't do frets any good
