I had an A string pop at practice. I quickly grabbed a new one leaving the rest for time and because I wanted to see what would happen.

The original set had to be close to a year old. I'd played shows in summer on it. Just plucking the A and its neighboring strings with a clean tone I could scrunch my eyes and hear ever so faint a brightness but I wasn't even sure of it. The chooches in my rhythm section said they couldn't tell.

Not fully conclusive but I'm string agnostic. I would not say this about acoustic guitars, that's a different kettle of fish.
