This has to do, I think, with the particular stratocaster I use, which is already very very bright. New strings are way too treble to the point of being painful on that guitar. I love the warm sound of old greasy strings that have been percolating for a few months. I change my strings about once a year, and I hate the sounds I get the first few weeks. It totally sucks. But to each his own. I personally hate the sound of new guitar strings. This has to do, I think, with the particular stratocaster I use, which is already very very bright.

I also tuned the middle strings four way up to E-E-A-E-A-D, which really stretches out the B, G, and D. Dead.

I have been playing on old strings for a few weeks now hoping to show some sound samples of the difference between old and new strings. Both very good points.

The sound is clearer, and the sound of the string, when plucked, sustains longer and decays less fast. The sound of old strings do not sustain as long, and the sound is usually a bit muddy.
