    Re: No more EXP74's?

    Re: XT D'Addario Mandolin Strings?

    I guess it was roughly about 3 weeks for me too, one set was subject to some very rough humidity outside gigs and were really abused so maybe I shouldn't be so hard on them saying I wanted more.

    Re: XT D'Addario Mandolin Strings?

    I too did the beta testing for the X series for guitar and was impressed with them. Curious of the mandolin set and how they will do.
