I ordered some off ebay from a store and the Low B-string was peeling. i went to string it up anyway and the Low B popped. I have never seen a Low B pop.
i have never had a problem with my black beauties. the coatin for me lasts for months at a time and i play at least 2 hours every day. never have broke one either.
