I'm not sure if he meant Martin or Dean Markley
i like the elixir for the acoustic, they actually live up to what it says on the packet. D'addairo chromes for achtops, and Ernie Balls for electrics (which is out of apathy TBH).
At least you know when strings & things will arrive&they are normally fresh.
They should make manufacturers put "sell by dates" on them like they do with batteries
And you only get 4 of the buggers for that.
You lot have it easy. And is it just me or does this thread come up quite regularly.. I'm getting a real...
oh. I see.

"Hello, Mr Music Shop Owner, I would like a packet of your finest guts please"
"Get out.."
Bridges aren't made from bridges, necks are not made of necks, tuners aren't made from tuna - and nuts aren't made from nuts....
You're on to something here, @richardhomer - the guitar industry has been fooling us all these years. Goddamit.
Terry Morgan was right all along.............
And on that bombshell.. (which is made neither of bombs, nor shells..)
I remember paying around a fiver for a set of EB's in a music shop around thirty years ago, amazing the price hasn't changed much.
I used to use Curt Mangan, bought from their European website. The first order arrived and I was pretty impressed. Their coated Matt Schofield set seems perfect for me with their slightly heavier wound strings. And they last ages, had 1 set on just over 12 months on my main gigging Tele, that only gets used at gigs.. And that's nearly 60 gigs on that set of strings.
I bought some more CM strings from the same place and they are rubbish, rust spots all over them..
Emailed them, no reply. Tweeted them, nothing for 6 months, then a reply from Curt saying he was going to replace them all.. That was November.
No replacements have arrived.
Back to Ernie Ball!
