Status Hotwire strings - only rounds available for now...

[solo4652]

EeK!

I've just logged on to the Status website to order some half wound strings. Looks like that only rounds are available for the foreseeable future:

I've tried just about every other half wound strings out there, but always come back to the Hotwires because they feel so smooth. Any recommendations for similar strings: ultra-smooth, bright-sounding half-wounds?

[font="Verdana"][size="-1"][color="#ffffff"]Unfortunately our previous manufacturer stopped making strings completely
so we have taken some time to find a new supplier
who could continue to make our custom strings to our specifications.

We currently have only round-wound strings available but hope to have
flats, halves and black nylon sometime soon.
I will add a note to our website when they are available.

Sorry for any inconvenience.[/color][/size][/font]

Ive always had good luck with Elites Groundwounds. Not Hotwire smooth but certainly not GHS Brite/D'addario Halfround rough

Picato half round strings are the same string. There's an identical thread halfway down the page ya know.

Thank you. If you're saying that the Hotwires and the Picatos are the same strings from the same manufacturer then, according to the Status website, the Picato half rounds won't be available. Ya know.

Theyve not had the tapewound in over a year . I tried ordering some to be told via Email that he was having issues with his manufacturer/supplier , but would hopefully have another supplier soon . So far this hasnt happened but Kodiakblair was lucky enough to get 2 or 3 sets that he found later .
