Slow Service at Guitar Center
My wife thinks Guitar Center has the slowest service in the world. I go there to buy a set of strings, D'Addario Phosphor Bronze lights. I know what I want when I walk in the door. A simple set of $5 guitar strings. No big deal, right? An hour later, I leave with the strings. An hour? You know how it is. You can't just go in Guitar Center and get a set of strings. Gotta try out the acoustics (fell in love with a Seagull), goof with a few electrics that I have been looking at on line. Pick out a bass (and I do not even play bass). Check out the amps. Keyboards - a room full of keyboards. Mixers, mikes, and PA speakers so if I ever get good, I can put on a show. I found a used Epiphone Les Paul Standard for $250. Too bad I only had $5 and had to settle for a new set of strings for the acoustic. BTW - I find these strings to be bright and crisp and work well with my rosewood guitar. And the good thing about them - they are not a coated string that never wears out. Can't wait that long to go back. You know how it is.

You get what you pay for.
I usually use Elixir strings. They are the best but they are expensive. Couldn't resist the price of the D'Addario. Thought to myself, how bad can they be? Lets just say I had to take them off and get a good set of strings and replace them. My decision to go cheep turned out more expensive. I won't do that again.

To me it's a great product. I keep all five of my guitars in cases and I feel confident the humidity in each case is constant. Very easy to use. I check weekly to see if the packs need replacement and each pack is replaced as needed. This product prevents me from worring no matter what the outside humidity is.
