I thought I would post this because I found it funny, I had the chance today and went to my brothers house to show off my new toy. My brother is a very fine guitar player and musician has his own little recording studio, he has been playing for 40 years while I have only been trying for 4 years, but thats not the point.

He took one look at my 20th silo and started drooling, we then went into his music room and he started adding a track to his latest song, very nice by the way .

I kept trying to get him to check out the piezo and when he did he went nuts on the guitar and bent the high e so hard he knocked the guitar out of tune.

He then went to tune it and not being familar with the schaller locing tuners he lossened the lock,pulled the string out and broke it off, he then just stared at me like what the f did I just do.
So I finally got to up him and show him how they worked. We then had to drive up to GC to buy new strings, we bought the pure nickel strings and man what fun after we got them on.

Moral to the story, well I knew something my brother did not and damn I love the strings we purchased.

Hey thanks J for reading my tale, I am going to post one of my brothers songs soon to get some feedback while he does not own a EBMM he loves mine and uses them on all his recordings now, but he is the one who turned me on to EB strings and that is all he buys even for his Custom Les Paul.

I had been using Super Slinkys #2223 but he insisted to get the Clasic Rock and Roll Super Slinkys #2253 and man I am glad he did I just thought the sound was so great,all Eb strings I have used have been good these just up it a not.

Even I made the 20th sound Kick A

Thanks to all of you for putting out a great product.:D

Trust me working on it even got him to admit that it was better quality than his LP and tone wise right there, must thank Pete DuBaldo for that since that is why one of the reasons purchased my 20th wanted a LP tone and Pete was dead on and hell great deal.

Great story! You are like the Next Guitar Generation or something.
And talking about Family and Balls, he should get a BFR!
