User questions & answers

Question:	Are these strings double ball
Answer:	I wouldn't see why not as long as the base was secured to the tabletop. The diameter is about 40in.
Question:	How would these be for blues/rock? They'd be put on a Strat with LS Hot Golds thru low watt tube cranked to OD naturally. All I see is metal players
Answer:	I went with the clear. It’s a small table as it is but the clear really allows a small space to not feel so heavy and tight. Also let’s focus be drawn elsewhere.
Question:	Will these m-steel strings work on a Floyd rose Im scare to cut the bal end off
Answer:	It's fairly sturdy - but the 10 year old can't use it as a chair. The cat, probably.
Question:	Are the M-Steel good for metal music
Answer:	Yes. I have two in my Living Room and they look beautiful along with my table, next to my modern white leather sofa and arm chair. They are on the smaller side, but the table lamp fits comfortably on top and even a smal plant next to it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do these work with first act acoustic guitars
Answer:	They should work with most guitars. My guess is they will be way too long, but can be cut down. Make sure you do it after stringing and cut both wires on the wound strings so they don't unravel.I had to cut off about 8 inches on my acoustic Seagull.
Question:	Have a EJ200 Epiphone. Would like to replace strings. What type of D'Addario strings do I use
Answer:	I have a 45 year old Martin d-28 I use the extra light strings EJ 15 3 Dbecause I like to fingerpickthey have a very good warm soundif your guitar is fairly new try the light gauge strings they sound very good too and you can buy 3 packs for under $15 at Amazon. D'Addario makes a good string and I find they last a long time. I highly recommend!
Question:	I bought these for my son and the first two strings broke when he was putting them on. We are on the third set in twenty minutes
Answer:	When you put on a string, you have to allow enough slack for the string to coil around the tuner post. Feed the string through and leave enough slack so you can pull the string about 4 inches above the fret board and then slowly wind it up and as it tightens, pause once in a while let the string stretch. Some strings can take a day to stretch, some don't. Be patient. Good luck...but if you don't leave slack for coiling strings will break.
Question:	So does this come with all 6 strings? Im completely new to guitars
Answer:	Yes, this is a full set.Specifically this is a set of 3. If you want just one select the 1 pack. (I tried to include a link but Amazon defaults it to the 3 pack for some reason)It is possible to look up and find individual strings, but honestly that ends up being more difficult in my opinion and for the cost you might as well grab a set.I am fairly new to guitars as well, so let me just take a moment to say these strings are highly recommended. Great choice.
