Location: closely held secret | Not sure what would be so great about higher copper content, unless all you care about is the first couple hours. Sounds like marketing spoo to me. |

Location: Flahdaw | No, but I did try the Black Diamond "Blacks" about 2 years ago and really liked their tone. Plus, they looked great on my '99 against the red top. Got a set from Black Diamond right here in Sarasota. Haven't seen them since. |

Location: GA USA | I've got some for you, 6 from one guitar, and 5 from another. Figured I'd wait until I had 4 bundles.
I usually use GHS boomers (10's) on the Viper. They're pretty cheap, but I like them. |

There hasn't been a signficant new material introduced for acoustic guitar strings in 35 years until now! Have Elixers been around that long? |

I tried the Blank Diamond Acoustic strings about 4-5 years ago. B.D. sent me a free set to try w/ a B.D. T-shirt. They did look very cool against my woodbox's natural top with the black buttons and black bridge pins I had on the guitar.
But I found after a day or 2 they got real "dull" sounding and the felt very stiff with the heavy coating they use. |
