Say, I was wondering , How's the quality of the "Bulk Buy" guitar strings?
Has anyone tested them?
Just curious!
Thanks, Walter

I hammered on a set of Med P/B strings for about 3 hours yesterday. Nothing broke and they sound every bit as good as anything else (to my deaf ears anyway). I think we did good.

I'm playing a set now. Well, not right now; right now I'm typing. But I've been playing a set at church for a week, and no one has asked me to quit.
Of course, they are a kindly bunch.

The strings seem fine.

I've used Euphonons for 2 years and love them. They sound as good as strings costing $10.00 a set. At $1.85 a set I can afford to change them more often than I would if I were paying retail...but now I am developing carpal tunnel syndrome!

If the bulk strings came from Walter L. At Euphonon, they are D'Addario's. Don't tell anybody I said this! Oppps. too late

I don't think so. D'Addarios have colored ball ends. These are all Brass. Though I'm pretty sure they are teh same strings that various "manufacturers" put their name on.

you are too used to buying in the fancy packages paul. bulk is different!

Well, I don't know if there is anything fancy about the packages I buy. But no, they aren't bulk. EVERy set of D'Addarios I've used in the last 2 or so years have had colored ball ends.
Hey if these turn out to be the same strings, GREAT, because I love D'Addarios. Just don't like to pay for them.
