This thread is about a high durability string with a good tone. If you never break strings, start your own thread with a title like "I am a super duper dude who does not break strings because I am amazing". Then you can discuss how fabulous you are at length with others who love you. John Martyn regularly broke strings. I guess he should have studied with you as well!
What impressed me most about them is how they hold their punch even after a month of hard gigging. I have never had strings that held that percussive edge over time before. I used to do a string change before every gig. Elixirs broke as regularly as the Martins, but cost a fair bit to replace. So I swapped to cheap Martins. Elixirs never held their tone after 3-4 gigs in hot weather. The EB do. Their coating technology seems to be superior to Elixirs. I am curious to see just how long I can ride this one set before I bust a string or lose tone. So far, its going on 6 weeks now in summer season. These are really a breakthrough tech.

I do have one observation about the Paradigm strings. I think my finger chemistry is a little hard on strings--not super hard, but a little more corrosive than average. After a few weeks, I see some discoloration on my strings where my fingers press most often. That led me to change my first couple of sets of Paradigms too early, thinking they were going bad. When I paid attention to my ears instead of my eyes, I noticed that they still sounded great. Even after noticeable discoloration, they still have lots and lots of life left in them. Of course that's my fingers. Yours may not discolor them at all. |

I've never tried Ernie Ball acoustic strings because I've always been afraid of that .044 gauge A string... what the heck is up with that??

Paradigms
I love the Paradigms on my PRS HB ll. I guess I'll have to give them a shot on the Goodall and Char. Always liked Pearse on my acoustics but it would be great to find some that last as long as the Elixirs without the dullness that overtakes them after a short time.
