To update on the strings the Prof. sent me... I'm in Korea right now so i haven't touched my guitar in a while, but this is what i've gotten so far.
THE STRINGS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE DAY I GOT THEM...
no kidding, the strings shine like new, bend like new. I really like them, i would say love, but however the sound of out them aren't as bright as the nickel coated. That is the only drawback, but still i would use these until they break, and i would replace em with the same. THX PROF!~
