Carvin, too. They are the same as GHS flats, and probably the best price. http://www.carvinguitars.com/product...ct=FW60&cid=50 |

But, mind you, the TI jazz flats are the best you can get. Low tension, killer tone that never dies. |

the only way it would be a worthwhile investment to me (mind you, I don't play professionally) would be if those strings lasted a whole year or more before needing a replacement.
by the way guys, thanks for all the replies, I'm grateful for all the info.
