Mike Halloran mentioned these a few days ago...so I bought a few sets from Just Strings.

After putting a set of Prucha co rods in Princess Joy today (the Silver Princess pot with OT-800 neck) and tightening her down I installed a set.

They are PLENTY long and the 12 - 14 - 20w - 24w -12 gauges are just perfect. My previous favorite has been GHS PF160...I still like them but the 20w and 24w 3rd and 4th in the Hartford set just work.

Give them a shot!

I am grateful for everyone of them, but Mike Halloran has been there and done that more than most! giweb

The first one broke after putting the instrument down for awhile and then fine tune. I replaced with another 20w which this time broke straight away. I ended up replacing with a plain 16 which works just fine.

MP3: What Would The Prophets Say? Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The religious basis of authority in the Middle East (or anywhere for that matter) is the source of a lot of suffering and is unsustainable. The violence is mostly perpetrated on women and children.
MP3: You'll Never Leave Texas Alive Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A sad murder ballad of a sort. Some murderers wear nice clothes and use pens and paper to kill and never see their victims.
MP3: Ten Years On Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A lament, written for the 10th anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Sadly there are still parents who are irresponsible or foolish, and parents who suffer as a result.
MP3: Shutdown The System Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: The pursuit of money is alienating, enervating, and exhausting. Here’s a song of resistance to finance capitalism.
MP3: Take The Wheel Linked by jbakervt 2 years ago: A song about mentorship, inspired by my mentor and HIS mentors too, that takes the form of the story of a ship’s mate being “shown the ropes”. The old sea captain may also have been a long-neck player
