Do me a favor and take a look at this string and let me know if this is what a new string should look like, this is my first time trying this particular brand.


Just my luck! I only got one set too.

Sarcasm by the way. I know it's a bad string.

Pick any of those. If he doesn't birdhunt, too bad. If he doesn't smoke a tobacco pipe, too bad.

Nothing wrong with that string. Its "pre-bridge partial tapered exposed" design is intended to maximize growl, bark, and mwah.

I believe I will have no problem getting a new B string but I got them on line so I'm not sure if I have to go through them or the manufacture.

I really didn't want to, but...
La Bella, Slappers

They are of the hand made variety, I have heard that getting a bad string with hand made string happens once in a while so I am not ready to give up on La Bella just yet.

ROFL

The only thing maximized right now is the tone of a loose four foot rubber band!

If they are hand made, then I understand. There must be Monday and Friday strings.

Good. I used La Bella's on my classical guitar for a long time, always great strings.
