EVOL! Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Warning, blues jam below. My go to mail order store Elderly Instruments in beautiful Lansing, MI no longer has Gibson Vintage Reissue strings. When I lived in Michigan, specifically when I was at GVSU, I loved making the trip on I-96 to Lansing. Now that I am in Chicago I have been doing all of my mail ordering (strings, picks, capos, etc) through them because I want to support this great mom and pop shop. Now I'll have to get my strings elsewhere. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I bought my 6-string acoustic from them years ago, really nice shop to deal with. I stopped receiving their catalog and come to think of it I never updated my new address with them. Any reason they are not carrying Gibson Vintage Strings? That's what I use. I like D'Addarios as a close second but prefer the stiffness ofGibson strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Paul Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I have recently in the last few years changed my gauge, manufacturer and supplier. After decades of being a D'Addario 8-38 player I now play a custom gauge made by a very good English company called RotoSound, and supplied by a mob called Just Strings. Might want to check them out, from what I can tell, they carry just about evrything. Might find yours in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I wonder who the real manufacturer of the Gibson Pure Vintage strings is. There must be another brands that's the same thing, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I was equally depressed when my local stopped stocking D'aQuistos...in my view and style they were better than anything else out there...lasted longer, less breakage...can't find 'em anywhere.

Ryan H Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I wonder who the real manufacturer of the Gibson Pure Vintage strings is. There must be another brands that's the same thing, no? Gibson used to make their own strings, i think as recently as 2008, but D'Addario make their strings for them now. -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
