I've just had some Fender strings delivered off eBay. I've not used them yet, but the packaging and printing makes me think they were made in a shed somewhere.

Is this problem widespread?

Cool!

 

Can I care as little about these as I do fake guitars?

 

Sorry I digress.

How do they feel and sound man?

If they work who cares?

Hell I'll start buying them.

Damn it man. Without a serial number, I don't believe any of it.

Patience man. It will probably take some time to translate those Chinese characters into an identifiable serial number. 😀

Ya man, you're right. I shoulda waited for Sparky to weigh in before I jump to conclusions.

First the 'you what?' decision to leave Europe, then Iceland avenges its banks being put on a terrorist list in the soccer, and now Larry is getting dodgy strings on the interweb??? - I'd say there's definitely something going down. Definitely.

 

Strange days indeed people.

Unfortunately, they exist.

 

Unless, Chinese are buying them from the U.S., and resell them cheaper trough their wholesale sites. A lot cheaper.

 

Bence.
