I compare 2 sets of strings: An old set with lots of wear (8-10 months old) and a fresh new set. Both strings are Ernie Ball Regular Slinky (10-46)
I find the difference in tone is most noticeable when played clean. The new set definately sounds a lot more alive, clear and crisp compared to the old set. This is not too surprising as the old set has had nearly a years use out of them
I barely notice a difference when playing Riffs however there is much less sustain when holding notes and playing lead with the old set...
