Location: Parrish, FL | Can someone enlighten me as to what the difference is between the 1818 and the 1818E strings?
Is it the 'cryogenic treatment of the strings?
Thanks,
Brad |

The packaging a pain in butt if you have change a broken string at a gig. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | E is for environmental. The different model numbers were so the inventory could be tracked better, you know, first in, first out. |
