Where do you buy strings?

[Chops Malone]

I used to go to Guitar Center, but now I buy them online.

I've bought from both of these places:

[Dickarms]

[Elessar [Sly]]

I buy directly from Feline guitars.

10-52s FTW!

You are lucky, where I live we don't have many smaller music stores...

Guitar Center pulled a WalMart and wiped them all out.

Why didn't I think of that? Mai ass must be dumb.

but srs, usually guitar center.

Yeah, I still go to GC, but not on Saturday mormings...















my ears can't take the abuse!

[Chops Malone]

I buy directly from Feline guitars.

I have not heard of them, so I just googled it...

What a cool shop! I wish I had something like that near me.

[100 watt]

my local mom & po stores.

best buy if after hours & hard up.

[phrophus]

I usually order them if I'm ordering something anyway. Or I go to one mah local stores and pick dey up. Gives me an excuse to go check out the inventory.

Yeah 'tis a great place. They are sorting my custom Jag out.

[Dickarms]

i want to start giving some of the local places some business, we have some cool shops. but its like walmart. cheap and right down the street. hard to argue most of the time.

[Chops Malone]

Circle-K Strings. A little brighter than most, and seem to last longer for me than D'Addarios or Ernie Balls.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check those out. Longer lasting strings would be great!

I always forget about BestBuy, but I agree that supporting the local mom and pop stores is what we all need to do to help them survive.

I gotta try that too...


tells the wife...
"just stopping here for some strings, I won't be long....."

<browses around>
"mmm, nice les paul..."

"honey - did you bring the checkbook?"

That's awesome!

You know the drill, poast sum pics when you get it.

We all need to do this, the small shops need our business!

if its somehing i am not getting directly from the builder, i only shop locally at either marshall music or elderlys. fuck best buy, fuck guitar center, fuck all that big box noise. they dont know what they are selling and dont care. its a widget to them, they only want to undercut the competition.

Elderlys is cool! You're lucky - I wish they were local for me.

I hear ya about the big box stores - fuck em all! They are wiping out all of the cool little stores.

juststrings.com or sweetwater.

I'd buy them from sweetwater just to get some candy.

[Chops Malone]

in bulk quantity from Musicians Friend.

Cool idea and it's probably cheaper too. If I could stick to one brand/gauge of strings I would do something like that.

[jangle-unchained]

That is what I do too, but with so many guitars, I have to keep like 4 different gauges and usually at least 50 to 75 packs of strings. I have always had really good luck with Musicians Friend and I have gotten some really nice guitars there....

I was always satisfied with Musicians Friend. I can't think of a slight grievance that wasnt resolved effectively. I used to read less than good things about them over HC... Then again, thats HC...

[benjamin801]

GC. I go in there, drag in my Les Paul, play through six of their amps and fifteen of their pedals, then placate the salesman by buying a few packs of Ernie Ball 10-52s ("Skinny Top Heavy Bottom").

That's the only reason I buy from Sweetwater. Needs to sabbisfy mah sweet toof.
