[guitarron]

on electrics
11's sound great but are too much for my aging wrists
been using 10's for years now-i lilke the feel of 9's but start sounding a bit thin

Go with the 10s, go with the 10s!!!
Your plan is going from one extreme to another...try the 10s first, Im pretty sure youll be content.

I agree with Sprocket, Launched, try 10s first - you'll be flapping about all over the place going from 11s to 9s

I got 10's and 9's. I'll take your advice, guys and put the 10's on first.

I tried the 8's. Didn't hate 'em, but went back to 9's next time.

I didn't even know there was such a thing as an 8...


Thanks,

Mark

9 or 10 electric, 11 acoustic ...

I find those Elixir nanoweb strings are worth the double price. At least on guitars you don't use everyday. They last for ages!!!

Been tempted to try them, but the price ...........

I think the bold highlight part gets ignored.

If you play often and the guitar gets heavy use, nothing beats new strings and often...I wouldnt recommend these for that type of use.
For one its not cost effective...the string price is often more than double.
In my opinion, there is alot trade off for a set of strings that wont corrode as soon...I dont want to beat the product up, because there is a need/use for them.

But a simple $6 can of "Fast Fret" will last you forever and can make a normal set of your favorite strings last(and sound good) much longer than without.

I use Dr. Stringfellow - Great stuff, but watch out for the creepy guy on the bottle!
