I think it would be a one off problem and I doubt it will happen again with that set of strings.

I did get a paper cut from the packaging on some XL Chromes once, though. Does that count? |

| | | | Maybe it came from somewhere else and didn't notice it but standard operating procedures are not to wipe down all new strings before I play them. |

most likely it is probably a piece of chrome chipped off of hardware or something like that. There is simply no room in the production process for shards of metal to be flying around to get caught on strings... IMHO | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
