 Odd, I've had several sets on several different guitars over the past year and not one issue. Wonder if I've just been lucky?     |

| D'Addario seem to have more than their fair share of problems. I had a seven string guitar built for me many years ago. At the time It was hard to find string sets of seven. I found out that D'Addario did them in chrome flatwounds. I purchased three sets over the internet from a supplier in the UK. When they arrive they had seven string marked on the packaging but there were six string sets inside. Needless to day I was somewhat annoyed. I emailed D'Addario direct and complained. They said that they had some quality control problems at the time. It would seem that they still have  The strings when they finally did arrive as full sets turned out to be pretty good on the guitar I have to say  Hugh. |

| Over the yeas I always had good luck with them. But these past two months, two high E's broke. It is not my guitar. No burrs etc.. Had it set up by a luthier 4 months ago. This last E has been on for 3 weeks. So far so good.

| What gauge were the folks who had breakage issues using? I'm trying to figure this one out...I've been using Chromes .11's on all my electrics for about 8 years now, and I've never had a string break! But I'm wondering if the QC problems were with a specific gauge... |

| Just got 2 sets of half rounds- and the D string just shucked the end off while I was trying to wrap the other end around the tuner post. These were purchased through Musician's Friend- the local GC and mom and pops had heard of them, but told me they don't carry them (probably the only person to ask for 'em... in a mighty long time) |
