    Re: GHS Strings here we go again..

    Well.... as circumstances happen, I decided to call GHS one last time and attempt to get a logical answer ( if possible ) as to what was happening. First phone call was a series of sending me to...

    Re: GHS Strings here we go again..

    I'm not surprised that that's the first time they heard about it. The experience I had with CS was that at least in my case, the various reps don't talk to each other. That's why I ended up with...

    Re: GHS Strings here we go again..

    Well... they might, provided you call them. If they monitor MC, they missed a lot of info that was discussed quite vigorously the first time around. They obviously missed a gold mine of potentially...

    GHS Strings here we go again..

    Ok... a few months ago I posted a thread about GHS strings that were rusted on all the strings, not just the wound strings right out of the box. It was further complicated by GHS customer service...
  9. Re: My last days on earth...tabs? Songs with a similar feel

    If you have the time and patience you can learn it on a you tube video by B.M. Not the best example but " Wayfaring Stranger " has a similar feel although Bill's is even more solemn. He's past his...

    I agree completely. It seems a person(s) at GHS took a simple request for replacement for faulty strings and are compounding it into an advertising well.. nightmare is a bit harsh.. but its certainly...
