I agree with Black Frog......I definately save money on strings....Even if you find a good custom maker that is reasonable, it' ll cost you $30+ for a one cam string....I bet I have about $8-$10 in material and an hour of my time in a string and it is as good as WC at $50 a string.....I charge my buddies $10 to build a string or cable and that more than pays for the string and serving material AND the beer they drink while I' m building it .
