Using these Elixir guitar strings is easy. Just replace your old strings with them one by one following the standard guitar - string replacement process. When you start playing, you'll notice the smooth feel and reduced finger squeak right away. As for maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place to prevent the strings from rusting. Avoid touching the strings with dirty hands as it can transfer gunk to the strings. If you're not going to play the guitar for a long time, loosen the strings a bit to relieve tension. And since these strings have a long tone life, you don't need to change them too often. But when the tone starts to fade or the strings feel worn out, it's time for a replacement.
