He's full of it. Ernie Ball makes their own strings and they don't make them for anyone else.

IME Sam Ash employees are all full of s***. My guess is that he just heard someone say how they sound the same as each other.

That said, it is a possibility, but given that EB is such a large string producer, it is unlikely that they outsource.

No

Incredibly different strings I might add. Don't like hartke strings.

I've heard quite a few times that EB & Rotosound come from the same factory (in the UK, anyway).
