Location: Marlton, NJ | A guy that I work with mentioned to me that these guys are just getting into the string business:
Aurora Strings
I don't have any personal connection to them, but the guy I work with knows the sales rep. Anyway, I asked him for some samples that I could pass along to good test group.
For whoever wants to try them, this is what I have:
Acoustic:
Gold 12 - 54
Red 13 - 56
Gold 13 - 56
Blue 12 - 54
Mixed 11 - 50
The way it'll work is first come, first served. PM me with which set you want (1 per person) and your shipping address and I will get them out to you.
I'm going to limit this to the continental US to keep shipping costs down.
All I ask is for some good feedback that I can pass along to the Rep.
I'm an EJ16 kind of guy, so I'm just going to try the one set of electric strings that I've got. |

Location: Scotland | Pretty much. Hall E at Namm used to be known as "inventors alley" and before the "Chinese Invasion" was always full of small, independant non-corporate companies that would be showing either totally f'up shit or very cool stuff (I demo-ed there for a coupla years with G-band, the jury is still out) The first time I met a certain individual with the initials KK we were invited to join him "trawling the Fubars" and we've referred to it as such ever since |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Oy vey - I made a mistake.
The Gold 12s are actually Silver 12s. The 13s are Gold.
So far everyone who has PMd me has asked for the gold 12s as their first choice - Murphy's Law in action???
Everyone's 2nd choice was the blues - so either way, the blues are gone.
For those that PM'd me for the Golds, PM me back and let me know if you want the Silver instead. I will keep the same order intact.
Sorry for the confusion. |
