When I was experimenting with various strings for various guitars,
there were times that I knew immediately that the particular set that
I had just installed was NOT going to make me happy. They came off
while I still had the tools out and got restrung. Others that I wasn't
sure about got the two week patience treatment before yanking them.
I'd have to say that if I wasn't happy with them within the first hour,
I was really never satisfied and they eventually came off early. I know
most will say that we need to let them settle in, but even after giving
them a chance, if I didn't like them initially, time did not change that
perception. I know what I like and what I'm going to like, so I don't
like to waste time playing guitar/string combos that don't please me.
