I replace mine when they start sounding "dead", regardless of how long they've been on the guitar.

In that case Stratrat, I'd have to change mine daily

Look it up, and yes, this does come up a lot...
But it depends on how much you play. I change mine about every mounth, but if its spring brak and im playing 6 hours a day, I wear them out in about 2 weeks... But once it sounds bad, or the stings are "crusty" or just it just doesent feel... Right.
