That’s a crazy price - shame no other gauges for wusses like me though!
Thanks for posting.

Think I just bought the last set! No delivery till 11th December though?

[warwickhunt]

Hmmm 'I' just bought the last set AFTER you and delivery 6th Jan 2024...

It wouldn't let me buy 2!

For mine it says:

Arriving: Tuesday, December 5 - Friday, December 8

You can go back and buy another single set but the delivery date will push back!

Just brought two sets delivery Mon-wed next week. 

I generally stay away from rounds as most are just too slack feeling for my industrial (hamfisted) playing, but I'll give these a go. 

 

 

[Maude]

I wonder what's going on though as there's a few different sellers all selling at the same discounted price. 

Which presumably why we've all had different delivery dates. 

Will any of us see these strings?

Very odd.  Mine were £12.95 but Dec delivery and when I went back 10 seconds later £12.95 with Jan delivery.

[Eldon Tyrell]

Mine are sold by Amazon.

Ditto.  I cancelled the 2nd order as I'm wary of a 2 month delivery schedule, never mind 3 month.

[Maude]

Ah, I didn't see the £12.95 part. I paid £16.37 which is still cheap, maybe why mine are coming next week. 

Just odd that three different sellers have the same random price. 

[Eldon Tyrell]

Maybe just overstock. I normally buy the 45-105 set.

£22 is that cheap?

[Maude]

Coming up as £22 (4s) £20 (5s) with that link. 

 

You bought the last set at £12 and are just taunting us. 😄

Same here.  Shame I don't like SIT strings - too rough for my tastes.

I found SIT died off so quick, I put the previous d’addarios back on and they were still more zingy/fresh.

[steantval]

Why the ridiculous delivery dates, it’s not a three piece suite that’s being purchased, it’s a small bag of strings.

[Maude]

Mine are arriving tomorrow. 

It looks like me not having the £12 option bizarrely worked in my favour.

The £16 heavy gauge NYXL strings on Amazon all seem to be sold from stores full of hair straighteners and various other popular counterfeit items. Check the storefronts before you spend money....I'm suspicious and sure they're going to be fakes

Mine are due for delivery on Monday, we'll see what turns up.  Anyone got actual photos of the ball ends etc of genuine strings?
