Cato Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 I was just looking to order some new strings when I stumbled across a sale on DR strings at Peach guitars https://www.peachguitars.com/search.php?Go=+&q=Dr+BASs+strings Just ordered some Hi Beams for about £33 with P&P.

Cosmo Valdemar Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 I didn't think that was much of a saving until I saw how much they were asking originally... 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to get them for around £25 on Amazon, but that seller disappeared a couple of years ago. There are some on Amazon at the moment for less than £30 but I've heard so many stories about people getting fake strings from Amazon that I'd rather trust an actual guitar shop.

I always get mine on Amazon, no issues yet thankfully! Luckily I rarely need to buy them as they last ages 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnR Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 I've played DR Hi Beams for a long time and they are the best (for me). I buy mine from the US at fretnation.com to take advantage of much lower US prices. Three sets just arrived for which I paid £78 which included the £14 shipping fee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have prices for strings gone up in general, or is it just certain strings? About 3-4 years ago I used get Dunlop Flatwounds from guitar guitar for £30, and when I went to buy a new set recently, most places were asking for about £80.
