I take back what I said about Gibson Strings!

Since I screwed up that last set of Gibson strings that I had with a fairly newbie stringing error . . . I decided to give them another shot. I read a post somewhere that someone thought highly of these Gibson Vintage Reissue strings so I bought some. I was pleasantly surprised to find that both the B and high E strings had 2 each in the package. WOW. That seems like a good thing!
I like the way they sound too.

Incidentally if you would like to avoid the silly problem I had with the earlier stringing you can follow these "idiots guide" instructions The important part is on the second page where he writes "Take care when winding the string around the tuning posts. Ensure you have no overlap and that you have enough wraps to prevent any string slippage. Either case could result in tuning problems. The thicker strings, the 4th, 5th, and 6th strings, should have 2 to 4 wraps around the tuning posts. See below left. Thinner strings, such as the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings, should have 4 or more wraps. The picture, below right, shows what I mean."
