I use double-ball end strings, and they don't have any of your silly silk nonsense.

Just like the title says. Feel free to tell us what kind of strings come in said color, and whether or not the strings you use have your favorite color whipping on them.
I like the purple wrap - it goes really well with the gold hardware on my Cirrus (SIT Conklin Signature strings) and matches the yellowish tint of the Rob Allen well, too (LaBella 760n, tapewounds).

(too bad I have naked DR's  ) |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: NY | | | I just put a set of Dean Markley SR2000's Will Lee's and they had a gold silk wrap. First time I saw that color and it looks pretty sharp on my MTD. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York | | | Does anyone know what color wrapping the GHS Flats come with? I finally found a place that sells single flats in .136. I don't really care that it isn't going to match the other 4, just curious.... |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Los Angeles | | I must say, after white wraps (my vote) I love the Ken Smith orange wraps. I also like the Ken Smith purple wraps.
TI wraps are nice because when you see red wraps, you just know some TIs are on there!
Who makes green wraps?
Kind of wish DR and D'Addario put wraps. Helps protect the tuners and looks nice.
