I've started a post on another forum concerning the string life on my Gibson SJ200. I thought it would be interesting to get LTGers perspective on this...
In a nutshell, my SJ200 sounds absolutely glorious with fresh strings on it. However, after about 2 weeks, the strings start to sound dead or "thuddy". I've had the SJ200 for about a year and it goes through strings like there's no tomorrow. Strings on my other guitars sound relatively good for at least 1-2 months, even more. Anyways, one of the most intriguing answers I got from a fair number of people was that their best sounding guitars had the shortest string lifespan. I have never ever heard this before but found it fascinating.
Has anyone here had a similar experience?
