Musician’s gear strings…

[JackBootedThug]

The cheap strings on musicians friend… they were doing a buy one get one 50% off so I got 10 packs. I don’t expect much but are they okay or trash? I have always had decent luck with strings so I thought screw it. 10 packs for $23 shipped.

I’ve seen posts that they use GHS to manufacture their strings, but either way I’m sure they’re fine. When I find deals like that I stock up too. To me that’s more important than brand. Never had a set that sucked from any brand except I don’t like the feel of coated strings.

Most of them are made by one of a few places and just slapped with whoever's brand. I used juststrings.com generic electric strings for a long time. DIRT cheap and they always held up better than name brands like Ernie Ball. Unfortunately dude retired and closed up shop late last year so now I'm buying Ernie Ball individual gauges. It's like 2003 all over again except I'm paying more.

I have used them on quite a few friends guitars and had no problems so far. Hardtails and floyds.

Thanks I bought a bunch of dr silver star coated strings on reverb last year and honestly they kinda suck. I always had good luck with dr in the past but these are not doing it for me at all.

I buy cheap EHX strings ($4.99 / set) when MF has accessory sales. 9s and 10s

I only splurge on strings for my EBMM, getting sets of Ernie Ball RPS ~ $9 a set.
