I keep a scrap of paper in my guitar case to note the dates of string changes. It would be interesting, possibly funny, to see how badly I guessed at string change intervals without a written record....
Since 10/06 (when I started my current scrap), I've changed my PB Elixir strings twice after 4 months, once after 6 months, and three times after 5 months. In December of '07 a Taylor tech restrung my guitar with free Elixir 80/20s at a Taylor clinic; I kept them on just 3 months before returning to PBs. This past August I participated in an Elixir string trial, playing the test strings for 2 months before returning to Elixir PBs.
So: under normal conditions, and with my preferred Elixir PBs? 4-6 months.
Your radio buttons, they fitteth me not.
