i didn't know that strings when going bad can throw the tuning off that much.i am working with Jason at
www.wolfdenstrings.com right now to get me set up with string and cables.the materials he has are 452x,8125, and TS1.he says he likes TS1 as the best all around material.he has a jan. special right know $40.00 for string and cables sounds good to me.i have heard he does top notch quality work.does anyone get more speed from custom made strings and cables??
