Bulk Strings

[Blues_N_Rock]

I am interested in purchasing bulk singles for electric and accoustic from Juststrings.com. I was wondering if anyone out there purchased there bulk strings and what were your thoughts about it? The price is right but no manufacturer is mentioned by name. Thanks

I use Webstrings.com for my strings. Their whole deal is selling wholesale strings without having the overhead of marketing. They claim most strings are made at the same plant, although I have no idea if that is true. They work just fine for me.

Re: Bulk Strings

most folks who tried them are pretty sure they are d'addarios. i've ordered a .060 in bulk and they are backordered since 2 months ago. that's a negative to me although its not their fault.

Re: Bulk Strings

there are only a handful of actual manufacturers for strings. D'addario is one, GHS is another, as is Dean Markley. Not positive on any others.

The PRS strings I got with the guitar I believe are Ernie Balls based on the feel and sound.

dani - Have you purchased from them in the past? I read elsewhere that someone was really upset about the S&H charges applied to there order. If you used there strings in the past (bulk order), were the strings satisfactory to you?

For the price of the bulk singles, it is the best I have seen. I seen other sites advertising bulk singles, but I don't need that much (48 count). I am looking only at 12 count for 9, 11, 12, and 16s.

Thanks

I went to their site, but JS is still cheaper for bulk singles. Plus, I am not looking for bulk packs. I just don't know JS' services and quality of bulk strings. Thanks
