I need to pick up some guitar strings and was wondering who here buys them online and from where? Strings are wicked expensive around here so online is the only way to go really.
I just moved back home for the summer and decided to pick up my electric and install some Sperzel locking tuners I had bought a few months back. I went upstairs to get a pack of strings, and they're not there, I'm out 5 sets of D'Addarios and a set of Darcos that my tech gave me when he finished a repair.
So where is a good spot to get fairly cheap strings online, preferrably D'addarios or Martins, and a place that will ship to Canada.
Thanks,
Paul

Here is where I'd start.

musicians friend has a big sale on accessories right now.
Who needs a signature?
I mean really...
It's almost always lyrics...
or a cliche...
or garbage about me...
Lets just save YOU from the pain, ok?
Musician's Friend is not shipping internationally now - is that true? Didn't they used to?
Anyhow, juststrings.com does but it's $40 for any size order.
(edit) My mistake, it's not that much from juststrings http://juststrings.com/info.html
You might try bpstrings https://www.bpstrings.com/indexx.html - looks like it's 'per set' so it might be better.
Oh, here's another http://www.stringitup.com/canada.html
I get mine from Musicians Friend but apparently they are not shipping to Canada. Wow, thats lame!

Thanks for the links! Yeah it does suck that they MF doesn't ship to canada. Luckily I managed to track down the Darcos, still no luck with the D'Addarios though.

Hmmm last time I looked MF WAS shipping to Canada.
That must have just changed in the last 30 days.
Sorry for the lame link. :oops:

Thats alright Bish. I think I'm just going to pick some up on ebay, I've had good luck with it before. Even though the prices have risen a bit, I'll just put some tax return money into getting some, I'll still save in the long run.
