All

I am really glad I got 3 sets of strings when I bought my Demon.

I was looking again recently and even they don't stock the light baritone SST-102 strings now. Or the baritone SST-103.

I am based in the UK but even looking at US stores there doesn't seem to be available stock of these any more.

I'd rather use the double ball strings as per the guitar's design, but why is this being hampered by a lack of stock.

Is this a Gibson issue?

Thanks,

Jon

Good luck in your quest...

Newtone Strings might be able to help

Or Strings Direct...

Thanks for the suggestions V.

Strings Direct don't seem to stock the double end gauge I am looking for, so I may drop them a mail and double check.

Newtone look like a great idea but I'd need to buy too many sets up front

The other day I asked my salesman if he could get me a ZT-3 guitar. He got word from Steinberger they were changing factories and that nothing is in production right now. So if they make their own strings in that same main factory that could answer why you're having difficulty finding strings.

I noticed a lot of sites listing strings over this past weekend as I looked for the ZT-3, and then on Monday the string listings dropped from practically all the sites I buy gear from. I heard no ETA on when the new factory and production starts up.

Thanks; not been on here in a while.

I am not playing the hell out of it anyway so still have a couple of sets to play before I get desperate.

I could also go single ball end I guess, but I really do like the simplicity of the proper strings.

Hi Jon,

did you get lucky and find some strings?

I ordered a Synapse Transcale, but just cancelled the order as it seems impossible to find any strings, I don't really want to go down the single ball end route either.

Cheers
