Webstrings.com

Reaction so far:

I put a set on maybe a week ago, and I have to say, these strings are the best I've ever used. (over D'Addario, EB, and GHS)

I got 10-46 sets, and I'm using a D'Addario .064 single for the low B.

The Webstrings strings are very smooth feeling - very fast and easy to play. The plain strings especially are fantastic. I wipe the strings off with my sleeve every time I put a guitar down, but even so, usually for me strings start to lose the shininess and smoothness after only a few days. These still look exactly like when I put them on.

And they're $2.85 a set (or less) with free shipping.

"I was always interested in the 'little black dots.' You know, the idea that you can take a piece of manuscript paper and write on it and have a whole orchestra at your beck and call - That's creativity."

I'm using their 10-56 sets, and they're really good strings - especially for the price. I've had ZERO breakage problems, and they hold their tone very well. I've been very pleasantly surprised.

I've got a couple of sets of their acoustic strings I'm trying out next.

Division - American metal that doesn't suck. Much. Even on MySpace, and Soundclick, too.

Yeah, at some point I'll probably try their acoustic strings.

By the way, I got my copy of Trinity the other day - really digging it.

I'll let you know how they are. A friend of a friend swears they're D'Addarios.

I just got a bunch of .008-.039 sets from Webstrings, and the first set I used has been great so far--no detectable difference from the 'name brands.'

We are SO different - that .008 wouldn't last ten minutes for me...

Of course, I couldn't stand anything lighter than .064 as a low B
