Never broken a string (and I use steel picks), sound fine (remember I use gain....high gain)

Wow, doesn't leave much to the imagination!
She could have put some effort into her nails though.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I`m scared of using cheap strings after using Dunlops. man they SUCK. they stretch or sound bad or somthing

but on your recommendation Willow I will try these next time I see them
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

I should point you in the direction of the ones I actually got then :rofl: ...I got the ones on tis page that are near the bottom with the white guitar on it ($6.60) http://www.somusic.co.nz/guitars-98/guitar-strings-105/

I got them from trade me when he listed a $1 reserve auction which I won for $3. I then asked hime for 10 packs and he gave me all of them at $3 each. The have a similar feel to stainless steel strings so if you have never used them then they are a little bit different under the fingers....(kind of slicker..hard to explain though, but at those prices worth a crack)

I wouldn't buy them either, they rust after a few days of install.
