If you're buying counterfeits Herman, which it looks like, you might like to try these and see what you think of them. Supplied inside a plastic bag inside a cardboard sleeve inside an end opening retail display box.

I've been using AE530 L's and SL's as my alternate standard "go to" electric strings since I tried them. I like them [u]a lot[/u], and the price per set is icing on the cake.
