el capitan Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I bought some strings on Ebay,put them on a guitar.The strings are fine,but the packaging? The label just says Epiphone Acoustic Strings & the gauge of each string & a photo of a Masterbilt headstock. No mention of what kind of bronze or where they were made.
