LukeFRC Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hey So I need new strings, and can't afford DR so am going to go for the british equivalent - status graphite. Now one set of the premium round wound 40-100 is £18 six sets are £14.33 each - I wouldn't mind saving that £8 does anyone want a set? if enough folk do ill order 6, they are not individually packed so possibly edinburgh and around folk only and we can try meet up or something.

warwickhunt Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 have you tried/compared these Status strings before? I've used DR Sunbeams but I'm not prepared to pay the present prices, so I'm looking for decent nickel alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] yeah, I used to use them, and the last two years switched to DR string, loved Hibeams, and Fatbeams were good for a while and then as they get older the extra bass overpowered the overall tone. status have a similar feel and similar tone (to the Hibeams) not identical but the closest I've found- I don't know if they do nickel though? But I would recommend them. I'm going back to them as they sound similar, i prefer the way they age and the customer service is awesome. oh and they are about half the price.

[/quote] Good point, though i guess changing once a year makes the status strings at normal price look good. Less than 5p a day!!
