Squier strings

Just don't believe for a minute that Fender had anything to do with them. They are not Fender 7250 MLS/NPS strings - but there are some exceptionally good ones in that bunch of fakes.

My opinion of the MII strings that come on the VM line (don't know for sure about the CVs) and has a red silk are the best that you're gonna find from Fender/Squier. I buy or wheedle them outta people who want to replace them without even trying them first.

The '7250s' with black silks are a throw back - you throw them back, that is.

Not all MIIs are the same obviously, but even my Deluxe Jazz had the black silks on it and they got eighty-sixed ASAP and replaced with Elixir Nanos.

Just beware - since the Fender name seems sacred (it should be) and this might rile some people to take pen in hand and ream me a new one --- but their strings are all over the place for acceptability and playability. .
