well, I just placed an order on musicians friend for a bunch of stuff, and since shipping is free for orders over $99 (special anniversary thing, usually it's $200) and I was spending over $700, I decided to throw in all the small things, so, I'm getting 3 full sets of strings at $3.89 each. and 1 dozen fender guitar picks for $2.99... and that wasn't even the cheapest picks on there... I could've gotten the musicians friend picks at .99 a dozen. but, I don't know why i chose the fender picks, just the cool color I guess (blue). but I do have that problem of losing picks alot too... I think I am going to get one of those pick pockets (catchy name, I know) and stick it on my amp... or better yet, on the back of my headstock... lol (I'm kidding, I wouldn't do that)
