Old formula Fender 7250 strings 45-105

[steamthief]

I bought up a bunch of these when the new formula came to market, but now I need some dough, so I'm selling most of my stockpile. Three factory sealed sets available, $15 shipped per set in USA.

What is the diff btwn these and the new ones?

[steamthief]

The ones I have were manufactured by FMIC. The new ones have been outsourced to an undisclosed manufacturer - many here have speculated they're rebranded D'Addario. I haven't played the new ones, but these sets are very warm tonally and have hex cores. Hope that helps!

Just to add, I used to buy these and just bought the new formula, and was disappointed. They seem rougher, don't have silk ends, and feel like a bit lower quality in general. Pretty much the same sound but feel and look suffered.

Thanks for the testimonial, recreate.me! Would you like to buy some strings?

One set sold, only two sets left.

haha I really was thinking about it! The reason I know all about the new formula strings is because i just picked up a set for my Jazz, unfortunately, as much as they suck I did pay 22$ or something like that for them and i can't justify buying more for at least 6 months when these need replacements haha

I dont have the money to just buy strings cause they are on sale lol I also have a Bronco project that i suspect will need SS strings when the mods are complete. Sorry

All good, I understand all too well having to pay the bills, that's why I'm selling these off!

Happy Easter!
