not to mention that a "hydrocarbon" with a fluorine atom in it is no longer a hydrocarbon...

It's poor nomenclature. I understand why they did it, to emphasise the dechlorination of CFCs, but it's chemically not particularly accurate. Tabloid nomenclature, IMHO. :)

They are my string of choice on my acoustic, where they keep that new string sound for months and months, but I'm not a fan of Elixirs for electric. They sound plastic, add strange overtones and rapidly get torn up by the pick.

Actually I really like Elixirs for electric, but my reason is perhaps out of necessity rather than choice.
With other brands the unwound strings tend to turn black and rough feeling in a matter of a day or so's playing, I blame my acid sweat, combine this with the very hot and humid weather we get over here and using them becomes an exercise in futility.
Elixirs however still feel good and sound consistent even after a month or three's use.

That's what got me to get them too, my strings on my Indie already look grubby, if these are good on my RG then I'll wap them on this too.

Actually, I thought of doing that when I got my stone pick. I may have a custom pick made one of these days. You bet that will spawn a thread. 8)

Well, awaiting the music store to order in some Jazz III XL's. Fancy a bigger pick for a few things
