Strings?
I try to make sure to set this up at least once a year. I know I need some. If you do, post your interest.
It will work exactly the same as last time.

Yes, 1 gross lights.

Chris, that was the very first order. It was the first time Lance had to deal with D'Addarrio and it was a challenge. Anyway, we've done this group buy two other times since that first order and they both went much smoother. Actually, when Lance reduced the orders to gross only (not 1/2 gross) and only lights or mediums, it was much easier to manage. That first order saw to many special requests the order got botched up by guess who (Brock) because of to many special requests (well maybe it was miss managed by Brock...) if I remember correctly.

Anyway, I trust this would go smoothly as the second and third time round.

I don't know how this works.
I am assuming these are acoustic bronze strings.
Can you give some general guides? How much$ per gross, and how long?

Thanks, Marcus...consider us partners. They'll be shipped to me and then I'll send you 72 sets. Stay tuned.

I would take a dozen sets of mediums if thats possible , and that would last me a long time . I know in the overall scheme thats not many , but since I will only use them on builds I dont need many .

Aren't the Euphonon also D'Addarios, just not in official packaging?

Filippo


I haven't bought the Euphonons in a while, but if D'Addarios are characterized by having color-coded ball ends then the Euphonons of that time came from a different source.

Lance, can you give basic details, like price per gross set?

Also, how many do you need in order to place an order?
