Yeah I like D'Addario's. I use their .008-.038" set on my Les Paul. Have to have Fender Bullets on my Strats though.

Man I just play what is comfortable and forget all that business of "play these because this person did".
If I aint comfortable I play crap.

Some of these threads sure seem weird when the Fender Person who actually started them gets vaporized and the posts disappear.

What's weird is the fact that they sometimes make more sense.

Unlike before, I looked in this time. The wise old sage always gets my attention.

Not sure what's happened, it's good to see Niki post.
"Is a paint over possible" a repaint/rebuild thread, my first Niki.
I'm getting excellent help from the Bros.

Yeah, I ignored anything by the F person. I looked in here and thought Niki was having a High Times kind of day.

OK, so "Fender Specimen 1" gets his posts deleted as part of a routine cleanout.

On topic, Yeah, D'Addario strings are cool.

They make me sound just like Hendrix

Starting a conversation with myself seems to be ever more common as the dementia sets in. I really need to stop drinking thermometer juice.

As for FP1 ya lot of you had it wrong. The way to deal with silliness is not to ignore it, or constantly berate and bully the poster. Just answer them in a calm, no nonsense manner.

Okay, I'll get back to the topic (D'Addario strings on a cheap-o strat copy).

I would put D'Addario strings on my Strats if I can find them at a good price.

Really O.O?
I get them cheaper than anything else except Darko strings (which I've hated the feel of since I was 17 despite all the free strings you get in the pack). £4.99 for D'adds opposed to £6.99 for Fender (First choice of string) or E.B's.

I'm surprised that you struggle to find them at a good price on their home shores.

ALWAYS check eBay. I get EB 8s for half the price I would in stores, with free shipping. Also, some of the companies send picks with their strings. I think there's one that's 2 picks per pack, which is also a nice little thing. I've never gotten lucky with the pick grab bag, because I've never gotten a Tortex .5 or a JD .6

It's not a struggle, it's random. The shops will have different brands on sale (like at about $2 per set), so it's a matter of what's on sale when I am in need of strings. The last bunch I bought were GHS Fatties. When they run out, who knows what I might end up with.
