First string: anything between 2 hours and 2 months, depending on brand and luck. Second (and for some people third) course: anything between several weeks to several months, depending on technique, softness or abrasiveness of fingers and or nail ends touching strings. The rest: years. A friend of mine has sweaty hands and suffers from strings turning green and degrading more quickly.
