How often should I be changing my strings?

Post by UKPete24 »

Hey everyone, I’ve been playing a few times a week for a while now, and I’m starting to wonder how often I should really be changing my strings. I’ve heard everything from once a week to once a month, and it’s all a bit confusing. I tend to sweat quite a bit when I play, and I’ve noticed my strings lose their brightness pretty quickly. I’m using standard uncoated strings right now, but I’ve seen some recommendations for coated ones that apparently last longer. Should I make the switch or just stick to changing them more frequently? What do you all think works best for you?
