String update. All my local stores only carry Rotos in the SS version, so I ordered a set of nickels online and thought they were pretty darn good. A friend of mine loves the stainless Rotos so I just put em on my 2014 Gibson ‘Bird. They aren’t terrible, but I don’t see me ever getting em again. For SS strings, I still prefer DR Lo Riders

I tried DRs and that's what I have on my 7enders now. They last long and sound ok, but they don't slice through the way Rotos do IMHO
 
I actually work at SCRTC, the phone company in Glasgow. Typing this from my office desk as we speak. LOL!! What parts you reside in these days?

I am in Phoenix now (or in one of the suburbs really). I still have friends in Glasgow, Edmonton, and Lexington tho.

I'm personally really happy you get through strings as fast as you do. That way I don't have to try quite so many different strings to have an idea of what they are like.
