After experimenting for awhile now with Bluegrass gauge strings, I've decided that I prefer regular light acoustic strings. As it happens, I have 11 sets of unopened Bluegrass acoustic strings from different string makers. All sets are Bluegrass gauge (.012-.056). If you'd like to experiment with Bluegrass acoustic strings on your guitar, for the first three people who respond to this saying they'd like them, I'll send them along. I'm going to divvy up the eleven sets this way:
First two people to respond via private message: 1 set each of GHS Vintage Bronze, Martin 80/20 Bronze, D'Addario Phosphor Bronze, and DR Rare phosphor Bronze.
Third person to respond via private message: 3 sets of GHS Vintage Bronze strings.
You need to include your home mailing address, of course.
I'll put a reply here as soon as I have three takers... BTW, you can thank Pura Vida for the GHS strings; the others are mine.
Best, Steve

As Sleigh mentions, be sure to reply with your address to him via PM, so nobody's home address gets posted onto a public forum.

Also -- I will ship to the continental US
only -- it's too expensive to ship outside the country, especially when I'm the one paying!

OK... three people have responded asking for the strings, so that's it. I'll be mailing out the strings to the three respondents this coming week -- hope you enjoy them!

Awesome, Steve! Thanks for doing this and helping our Bluegrass strings find a good home. For those who receive the strings, it will be interested to hear your thoughts about them. What you like, don't like, etc.

Strings have been mailed out as of yesterday. To the three lucky winners, give 'em a try and I'd love to hear your thoughts on them. And if you don't end up liking them and haven't used up all the sets, then please pass them along to someone else!
