Farewell Dean Markley strings

Thanks for the reminder on this thread - my Ernie Ball replacements arrived a couple of weeks ago.

D'Addario is the answer , Sealed and vacuum packed strings .  Realized long ago that strings in paper packs have little shelf life . 

Yep, I’ve tried many and always found other brands hit and miss. D’addario have always been consistent.

Why was that LOL-worthy?

Ah! Just got an email from DM supplier is waiting for a shipment due in November. So I will have to give them the benefit of the doubt at least for a while longer.

Re-Daddario's I just don't like em. 

It's amazing how fussy we have all got about guitar strings when I started playing in the 70's there were only a couple of brands. You were lucky if you could get anything better than Cathedral which were cheap but crap. Then Piccato came along with their fancy plastic case and an extra top E. After that things got a lot better.

Well November came and went still no sign of any strings. Sent an email, no reply as yet.

I wonder how long some packets of strings kicking about in shops have actually been there. Could shops be forced to buy a box of fifty sets at a time?
