I have owned a set of gibblet strings and when my next set wears out I will purchase another set. They are awesome strings. They are pre-stretched and will hardly move at all over years of use. I would recommend not going the cheap route on a set of strings. A string and cable is not something you want to go cheap on. Gibblets will run you around $60 and you can get custom colors. I would shoot him a PM and talk to him.
