Doubled the shipping charge to make up for low profitMay 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was initially charged $8.73 shipping for a $10.89 order of three sets of strings. This is almost twice the Amazon advertised shipping rate. The company quickly agreed to refund $4.00 when contacted but the Instrument Co. is apparently willing to play fast and loose with shipping charges to make up $$$ on low profit items. Buyer beware.
Love the Super Slinky strings!May 28, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My experience with guitar started in the 70s with a beat up acoustic my dad handed down to me. I was enthralled with the sounds of the guitar, but hated that giant hunk of junk. In the early 80s I got myself a job, tossed that pile of warped wood, and bought myself a Gibson electric. A friend quickly turned me on to GHS Boomers, which I used exclusively for probably 7-8 years. I had tried several other brands, but for me, the Boomers were the best.
Well, the 90s came around, and my musical taste changed from alt-rock to a heavier sound. My preference transitioned from Gibson guitars through Orange and Mesa/Boogie amps to Jackson guitars through Marshall amps. Due to budgetary constraints, I switched to Carvin strings -- they used to be incredibly affordable -- but "discovered" the Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings when a guitar tech friend of mine restrung one of my super-strats for me, and that was that.
So what do 'Slinkies' do?
1. Bend forever. 2. Quack on a Strat with the best of 'em! 3. NOT break when setting up a Floyd Rose. 4. Last for as long as you can stand rubbing the oxidation off of the higher strings.
Okay, you get the picture. In a nutshell, these are high-quality strings at an affordable price, delivering the best tone out there. Novice or pro; you won't be disappointed.
