Is the company having a hard time keeping up with demand? Having a real hard time trying to find them. Seem to be sold out everywhere around here.

Have you tried LA Music? I purchased some there about a month ago. Some of the L&M stores across the country have them listed as being in stock (none available in their on-line store). No doubt they are still hard to find. I think many retailers are still testing the waters and are hesitiant to order a whole bunch of inventory that may not move.

I assumed they were selling pretty quick. I'm looking for 9-42 or 10-46 to give them a try. I think a lot of stores got a first shipment and that's it so far. There are only a couple of L&M's that have them. None close to me. I'll give LA Music a try. I know a couple of guys there. They are about a 30 minute drive from me. I've gotta see if they'll do free shipping or pick them up cause I don't think it's worth paying shipping on strings.

Thanks

Hmmmm, 1 hr round trip, with Canadaian gas prices + your time...if thats worth anything. And your worried about paying shipping costs? Geeez you cheap skate ! Order bulk from Ebay or Amazon. Pay the 5 loonies for shipping and they will be at your door in 5 days ! Just having a laugh, so don't get yer undies all tied up. Get the Cobalts. Simply amazing strings !! good luck !

I get what you're sayin.....Crazy gas prices....agreed. But I don't waste my time when I'm there. I don't go there just to get supplies. I used to make the trip 1 or 2 times a month. Cause I'd go there and "shoot the s**t" with the guys and there is another shop I'd visit that's right across the street and chit chat with those guys as well. And pick up what I needed then. And I do worry about shipping prices. I want to get a couple of packs just to try them out. The price will be just over $21. And they are gonna charge $14.95 for shipping??? No thanks. I'll order bulk when I know I like them.

Going to a nice Guitar shop is like Disneyland for me. I hope they get the strings in for you soon.
