Fender 8255s, Where can I get them?

[marwady]

To the group,

I love the 8250s on my string thru body Fenders. The 8255s are the same but for conventional, string thru bridge systems (Taperwound rounds).

I cannot find these at the usual suspects. Any ideas?

Man, I couldn't find them anywhere either! All my searches kept coming up that they are discontinued.

I went with a set of Sadowsky Bright Nickels, but I haven't put them on yet. I'm gonna have to soon though b/c the E is dead. It's the strings that came on it. I like the sound of the rest of the set. Dern shame!
