RE: Which string maker?
3 color, no problem
serving, mine hold up fine, everyone else's, i don't know. with the new machine, they go on so tight when i finish a run its warm. i had to play around with a set for me of course and on my single cam you can't even see stress where there is supposed to be wear. stuff happens though, and nothing comes out perfect every time, that's why if there's an issue i'll take care of it hassle free.
i serve the loops with string material ( i swiped the technique from VT, who swiped it from crackers - so indirectly i swiped it from mike, there's something i bet you didn't know)
