Yes I have used them for a few years now in both 9-42 and 10-46. No complaints; I like them.
For comparison I also use the plain old D'Adarrios and GHS Boomers as well.
Similar feel, good basic strings.

i've used them before. they're fine. for $6.43 or whatever for three sets shipped i'm definitely not going to complain. i'd get more except i'm pretty well stocked for electric strings as it is.

Wow, that's exactly the price of a Player Strat. I think maybe someone at Adorama made a mistake when they posted that. Nice score! I like the Penny finish too.

That was an insane deal... I should check Adorama more often.


Actually, no... no I shouldn't.

I have a slickdeals alert set for "guitar". I got the notification late last night and figured I'd sleep on it. I woke up this morning and still thought it was a great deal and I liked the color so I pulled the trigger. Already got the tracking number.

I don't know if using an app that alerts me to deals on guitars that I'm not even looking for would be good for me. I'm not saying that I can't control my spending (I'm not given to impulse purchases). I'm just saying that it would be a source of unnecessary emotional stress, sadness, and FOMO. I don't miss the deals that I don't know about. :)

Don't let TJ know about the existence of such apps! He'd be apt to buy guitars every few minutes 24/7!!!!!!!! :lol:

Looks more post coitus dying salmon colored to me. :) If it was penny colored I might like that. It is unique though if you must have paint covering your wood grain.

Agile Harm on shopgoodwill.com. Looks like it may be a baritone. Ye olde Agile experts will chime in with the correct model and deets, I'm sure.

Yep definitely the baritone version. Looks like what might be a nasty crack in the neck though, unless it's just a paint issue.

That just looks like smudges to me. The description mentions this but says nothing about cracks. Not that SGW is perfect, by any means.

Yeah hard to tell from that photo exactly what it is, but I have to imagine if it was a smudge that could be removed with a cloth they would've maybe done that in 2 secs. I would chance something like this from a place with a good return policy but GW is not it haha.

For the Prime members in the house, Amazon has a bunch of Mooer/Joyo/Donner/Caline type pedals on sale for prime days. It doesn't look like anything crazy, but 10-20% off on a lot of stuff...
