Hey, Good Wednesday Morning,
It's been a couple of days and the orders keep on shipping out. Thank You Canada. We at globalstrings try our best to serve you with the instrument strings you need - DR, Elixir, Ernie Ball, Hannabach, Savarez, SIT, Thomastik-Infeld just to name a few. Especially all the rural areas where you can't get your choice of strings. We're here to change all that and that's why globalstrings got started. We are the only Canadian all instrument (guitar, bass, mandolin, violin, etc.) string site on the web. When Canadians need strings fast and need to save money, this is where they come. Randy Bachman uses our service and we have a limited quantity of Randy's own Thomastik-Infeld electric guitar flatwound bulk string sets in his guages. Other than that, Enjoy your day, order lots of strings and All the Best.
