i recently got a good amount of money and its probably the last amount of money i'll get until who knows when. I want to buy strings that lasts VERY long so i'd have saved money for a new set when it snaps. Any recommendations?

Elixirs

#

They have three "models", Polyweb, Nanoweb, Optiweb

#

Polyweb should technically last the longest, but sound and feel the worst IMO

#

Optiweb is my fav. Feels most like a normal string

#

Still lasts months easily
