powerwagonjohn Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 It is my understanding that D"Addairo made the Gibson strings for them. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlwwalker Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I bought Gibson strings happily for years from Juststrings. GREAT service from them. I used Gibson Electric Guitar Brite Wires Nickel Plated, .010 - .046 Item Code: GIB_SEG-700L for $ 4.59 each and Gibson Acoustic Guitar Masterbuilt Premium Phosphor Bronze .012 - .053 Item Code: GIB_SAG-MB12 for $ 5.80 each plus freight Gibson strings have become unavailable at Juststrings sometime after 3-28-16, date of my last Gibson string purchase. Having read that D'Addario made the strings for Gibson and seeing much higher prices for the Gibson strings elsewhere, I swiched. I also went to a light gauge acoustic at this time. I now use D'Addario Electric Guitar Pro Steels .010 - .046, EPS510 Item Code: DAD_EPS510 for $ 4.72 each and D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Phosphor Bronze Environmental X Lite, .010 - .047, EJ15 Item Code: DAD_EJ15 for $ 4.90 each plus freight I am very pleased with these strings.

Twang Gang Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I have a conspiracy theory that all guitar strings are made in the same factory and just packaged in different brand labels. I know that is not really true, but Gibson and Fender make guitars not strings and I'm pretty sure someone else has always made their strings for them and packaged with their name. When you go into the grocery store and see your Ingles, Food Lion, Safeway whatever private label cheese - the grocer does not make cheese. Kraft or Sargento or someone else co-packs the cheese and puts the store label on it. I don't think Brand has anything to do with strings. You just need to know which type feel and sound good for your guitar and application. Nickel, Copper, Bronze, Phosphor Bronze, Flatwound etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
