Gibson Vintage Nickel Strings

[Iceman6937]

I like the sound and feel of these strings (10-46 set). But on every set I open (vacuum sealed) the first string (high e) has little places of corrosion. It is not a bad batch because I have several sets from several sources. Anybody else have this problem? Looks like I need to switch brands.

Sounds like a bad batch of strings to me.

That's definitely not common...I've never heard this complaint in my 6 years with Gibson Customer Service

Make sure you aren't buying the "Vintage Reliced" versions.............. :unsure: ......
