Hi,
Not sure if you guys know what I am talking about, but my strings, brand new, are starting to oxidize. They are turning black, texture feels very coarse to glide. In fact I can no long slide my fingers smoothly anymore. I only put on the strings brand new on there for like 3 days. The oxidation only occurs certain parts of the string. The more frequent areas that I play on. These are .11's ernie balls. I like the feel of them at first. They somehow feel less abrasive to the D'darrios .10's which i didnt like at all. Maybe I should go back to using D'addarios but try gauge 11s?
Should my solution be just wiping down the guitar everytime i play? or store the guitar? because i leave it in the open of my room. and where I live, its very humid and moist...hope that helps you to solve my problem. thanks!
