Coated Strings Confusion

[david henman]

...why is it so difficult to get information regarding coated strings?

when they were first introduced, only the wound strings were coated. this makes sense for most players, i'm sure. more power to you:AOK !

however, for players like me who have very acidic/toxic perspiration, the fact that the plain strings were uncoated totally defeated the purpose.

finally, elixir introduced anti-rust strings, which solved the problem for electric guitars, for me.

but there is still incredible confusion when it comes to coated acoustic guitar strings, and i have met absolutely no one in the acoustic guitar department of any music store who has been able to clear up the confusion.

i do know that DR Extra Life Strings are all coated, including the plain strings.

as far as i can tell, those are the only ones available in canada that are fully coated, although i have been told that steve's music in toronto is no longer carrying them.

are there any canadians here who can help me find out where i can purchase fully coated acoustic guitar strings?
