Just Bust an Ernie Ball Paradigm D String

matt1973

Just bust an Ernie Ball paradigm D string but that's OK - they're guaranteed aren't they...?

So I:

Scratched around and found the foil packet
Filled out the online form
Printed out the resulting hard copy form
Searched emails for the vender whom I bought the strings from
Printed out the invoice for the strings
Agonised wether or not to return all strings or just broken string (this was a big ambiguous on the form)
Resolved to take off only the offending string (don't want to have to perform a full string change unnecessarily)
Took off offending string 
Placed it in an envelope with hard copy paperwork and foil pack

And I will:

Apply a stamp
Go to the postbox
....and wait.

Let's see what happens here then.

Science that shit!

Here's the propaganda. https://ernieball.co.uk/paradigm

"We've seen it in the movies.
Now, let's see if it's true."

Good luck !! I tried Paradigm strings for the first time on Monday - broke the top E at the ball end just stretching it before even playing. Not happened with any other strings so not impressed.

Cannot wait. More exciting that Brexit

I emailed them directly when that happened with a pic of the string and the code and they sent me a replacement sent and some other freebies

How very modern of you!

"Paradigm are the strongest, most durable guitar strings on the planet. If your strings break or rust within 90 days of purchase, we’ll replace them."

Buggered if you buy strings in bulk like I do? ........Chances are they'd be out of date..

New full set arrived this morning. Wasn’t happy about the initial chew on but can’t complain about the service. Seems as if @rico had the right idea; emailing a pic with the serial would have been far easier.

Let us know how long the replacement string lasts.



Meanwhile, I can not believe that nobody has rolled out this old joke.

Shift happens.

I find after a practice or a week and a week of playing a particular guitar the strings go out of tune very easily. 

Are these worth a go?

I'm such a Luddite. Haha. 
I've always used Rotosound 10's and never felt the need to change. 

Wouldnt mind trying different strings I guess, but I like the ones I use, so...
