Anyone have a used Spiro Stark Long E you'd lend out?

I'd really like to try one out, but just can't afford to buy one if it doesn't work out. Does anyone have one laying around they'd be willing to lend out?

Thanks guys!

Hi Paul;

there is no such thing AFAIK


Strings made to order? (thomastik)

"It would be possible to make a S44St, but the tension would be too high. The S44 (medium) is about the tension of the Spirocore stark strings. So it is not recommended to apply even more tension than that to any instrument."
