Default One problem with Martin Titanium strings.....

They are only as good as their weakest link, which to my ears are the stainless steel B and E strings.

I have had them on my Gibson since 2/10/18.

The wound strings sound fine. The B string is starting to go. I'll either have put on another E and a B string to continue using them much longer or yank them off entirely which I am reluctant to do. I probably have a couple of trebles laying around somewhere.

Specs below:

What about getting skuzzy? For me Diaddario's are just starting to look bad when they start sounding bad at around 6 weeks.

How are those Ti strings looking?

The wounds are getting darker, from the G (worst) to low E (best).
