vmaxblues Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Well it arrived today, looks and feels great, so i tune it up and PING the G strings snaps..... So, where do i get replacement strings for these things, I have emailed Normans who I bought it from, but in the meantime, I would like to get some strings for spare. Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KR-Bob Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 yup - and another one. Tried it in the shop - no worries - got it home - tuner out, hmm bit flat - PING. So that's how they get the price down!! Took Andy's advice and gone for the "mid-market" priced Astrea strings until I get to use this for gigs. Bob... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
