My experience, on different instruments, with different brands and gauges of strings, is that the G and D strings start to sound muddy and dull while the A and E strings still sound clear and crisp. A number of times, I've replaced just the Gs and Ds, because the treble strings sounded fine.
Is this a universal phenomenon? Does it have to do with the windings on the Gs and Ds?
Do others change the Gs and Ds more frequently than the As and Es?
