Hey people,
I plan to stock on my strings for my electrics and acoustics so may I ask where is a good place to buy them? I plan to buy in bulk, altogether like in about 20 sets of various brands and gauges because I'm still in the midst of experimenting what's best for my ears.
yeah, I'm also price concious so which shop gives the best rate? Last time, I got raped by Mahogany for buying some Dean Markley acoustic strings, spent more double of MSRP after checking online ... Bloody rip-off***
and what you think about buying strings from musician's friend or guitarcenter online? Any cheaper? Reliable?

his prices are definitely cheaper than outside cuz he doesn't have a store so he has no overhead costs to cover

ok, will send him a PM
but anyone here got any experience with musician's friend or any other online webstores?
buying guitar stuff in Malaysia = slaughtered. I got cheated enough so I'm looking to alternatives.

Last year I gotten an ESP, had to go US to get it and of course got it like way way way cheaper than GC. So are their strings overpriced too? I'm planning to buy like 20 sets  so yea, price is a big matter
