They let me return strings on Amazon if I get a bad set. No muss no fuss. I don’t buy strings from outside music vendors anymore and surely don’t even try talking to the manufacturers about bad strings. Ever got the third degree from Daddario before?
So just buy thru Amazon. No questions asked returns I have done so far. Easy.
Thanks for the input, folks. I do prefer to do business with smaller companies as opposed to Amazon. I've been dealing with Stringsandbeyond for all of my strings & picks for years. They have free shipping, ship very quickly, have discount sales very often, and are always great to deal with. They are already in the process of shipping out a new replacement set.
In my recollection, this is the first time I've ever had a bad string, in 47 yrs of playing lead guitar and 15 yrs of playing bass. Literally thousands of sets of strings, thousands of gigs - and I play hard rock, use extra heavy picks, and pick hard. I can probably count on one hand the times that I've even broken a string, and that's even with using Floyd Rose locking trem systems, pulling them up as well as down. The couple of times that I did break a string was my own fault. All in all, the string industry has been very reliable for me - maybe because I replace them often. It seemed odd, and probably a fluke, that my first set of Rotosounds yielded one that was boogered up. I'm not going to read much into it.
Thanks for the other suggestions. I'm not locked into the Rotos at this point. I may try some others as time goes on.
And no, I've never gotten the 3rd degree from D'Addario before, haha. I do use their strings for my 6 string electrics, but never had an issue.
