Where do you buy strings these days?

Post by Matthew Walton »

With Frenchy's Steelmill strings being long gone, and Just Strings closing up shop, where are y'all buying your strings for custom sets these days? Especially if you're after custom gauges, like us poor Bb6 Universal players.

I know D'Addario came out with their custom string set builder, and seems like StringJoy has some options as well.

Any other good options I should know about?
If something I wrote can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, I meant the other one.

1981 MSA "The Universal" Bb6 S-12 9/5 | 2024 Excel Robostar Bb6 S-12 8/5 | 2009 MSA SuperSlide C6 S-12 | Peavey Nashville 112
