Sit powerwounds

[Obese Chess]

A lot of “how long they last” can depend on things like preference and body chemistry. That being said, I’d think you’d get at least as much life out of them as you would the D’Addario XL’s.

This is an interesting one - I have incredibly acidic hands. Even being a very clean person, I constantly have to wipe down electronics, strings, etc and really struggle with cars with leather steering wheels and shifters because of how corrosive my sweat appears to be. The SITs last longer than any other non-coated string I've tried. YMMV of course.

I don’t have sweaty hands at all but one of my main problems with d’addario xls. For some reason they felt to have a tissue on them. I don’t know. I have the SIts in n for over a week now and I’ve only wiped them down once. I guess to send a reply they are lovely as ever. Even after change the tuning a couple of times

I don't really have sweaty hands but it's more in what my body chemistry does to certain strings. We all have different genetics that result in a different chemistry when we touch things. We transfer microscopic levels of cells in everything we touch and everything that comes in contact with us. That's why I always have been obsessed with string technology and looking for the best. We contact them more than anything when we play.

Very true… I hate that oily feeling on strings. I stopped using fast frets . I wipe them down really good.
