Today's GC daily pick deal of 9 sets of 10's for $30 is pretty good, so I grabbed it.

If that had been 10 sets of 9s I'd have been all over that deal.

Just give them a bit more of a stretch after installation, and they'll be 9s.

I'm joking, but only half-kidding there. That Agile Harm I stole recently has an amazing unusual tone, and I've been trying to figure out exactly why. Among its peculiarities, the strings are strange - super slick, bendy, and no sliding sound on the wound strings. I thought they were flatwounds, but looked with a magnifier and nope, just different. Wanting to identify them, I took out a caliper and measured 7 (actually 6.5) - 9 - 14 - 20 - 28 - 39. Yikes, those are the lightest things I've ever played. Then I measured again, between the stop tail and bridge: 8 - 10 - 15 - 24 - 32 - 43. I have to guess they are 8s that have been on the guitar a long time, and really stretched over time between the bridge and nut.

Thanks @BatUtilityBelt

I went for 2 @ 9 sets and a total of 18...always good to have spares laying around.

Came out to $3.57 per set w/tax and free shipping!
