Are all 6 strings coated? Do they make the standard EB strings last longer? I love EB strings and have used them off and on [usually on] for all 11 years of my guitar playing tenure, but I don't pay as often now that I'm a more "educated" [for lack of a better term] guitarist, as I noticed that corroded strings don't sustain or tune as well, and playing on them, you can slide and notice the icky spots. I wash my hands before playing, wipe them off afterwards, and it helps a bit, but still I find myself wishing the strings excellent tone lasted longer than 2 weeks. Granted, my fingers can corrode strings in the first abuse of the strings, though they aren't totally done; there's just spots where the shiny string is starting to dull. I'm really curious about the coated strings and thought I'd ask here because the literature on them on the site is misleading if all 6 strings are coated. Otherwise I'm gonna have to use that coated string company that also starts with an E.
And one little side note suggestion: It'd be nice if you could order single strings like with the standard Slinkies because I'm kinda picky about gauges, I guess.
Anyways, thanks for any info that can be provided.
