I don't have the time to waste breaking in new strings and I
hate that tinny sound of them. Are there any strings out
there that don't sound this way? Or, is there a fast way of
breaking in a new set.

Try boiling them in salt water for an hour before fitting them that oughta
kill all those beaut harmonics ;-)

Alternatively, you could experiment with flatwound strings rather than
roundwound.

You can get strings that have a mellow tone, but I can't name any because I
like that 'new string' sound. You could also try flatwound strings, which
will also make less string noise. Someone mentioned boiling them, which I've
heard of but never done. Ask the person at the place you buy strings if
they have mellower strings.

Boiling them is best! they last longer and sound better this way to, flat wound
strings are???? I've found them to be most unenjoyable, Have a nice day!
