I'm missing something because the price reads $16.99 a set.

Amen ... I'll pass.

Probably too late now, but the D'Addario strings on there are obviously fake. They have the wrong logo, as is pointed out on D'Addario's 'how to spot fakes' site.

Gents - just to share the info - we have a very substantial issue of counterfeit strings coming out of the far east. In fact, in China, we're seeing 8 out of 10 sets being sold there as fakes. We created this website - www.daddario.com/playreal - to help players identify if the sets that they're buying are REAL D'Addario product. You enter the code off of the internal baggie and that will help identify the set. We're not the only brand experiencing this but thanks for posting that set. If I can answer any questions - feel free to email me - don.dawson2@daddario.com

Nice to know you guys have our backs on this! Last thing on Earth I'd want to do is end up with a counterfeit set of Chromes lol
