Quite a lot of the old, red labeled version still available at Thomann music store in Germany, probably the biggest distributor in Europe... so at least for O-Players in Germany, France, Italy pp. looking for those strings.... you may get them there. 8 bucks. |

I GOT A CALL JUST THIS MORNING FROM STRINGS AND BEYOND. THEY WILL NOT BE CARRYING THE NEW 2016 RE-ISSUE ADAMAS STRINGS AT ANY POINT. "WE ARE UNABLE TO GET THIS BRAND IN STOCK. WE RECOMMEND USING EITHER THE NEW D-R VERITAS STRINGS, OR THE NEW D'ADDARIO NICKEL/ BRONZE STRINGS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THIS BRAND." Did I miss something here? I did not see this coming!

I may just buy them at my luthier, he's hosting a lot of fun events so want to give him some business too. Actually he just has my 12 string Legend in for a setup and he thinks the (LX) neck needs tightening. Will see at tomorrow's jam if he got it fixed ... |

Location: Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA | Hi, Beal,
I posted a reply earlier to Leonard McCoy on page 1 of this thread, and I said I contacted D'Addario CANADA about the new Adamas strings. My bad. I actually contacted the US headquarters site in Farmingdale, NJ. They replied some 3 days later, and sent me an ominous sounding e-mail, which in effect said that we cannot and/or won't tell you exactly which companies we do, or do not make our strings for at any time. They told me to check with my local music store, so now I definitely know Steve's Music will NOT be carrying the new Adamas Strings. I'm still waiting for an answer from both Long and McQuade, and D'Addario CANADA, about these new Adamas strings, but I'm not holding my breath. There is an old saying about the word "ASSUME," which I think you know, and I can't post it here, so all of this mystery/intrigue about set of guitar strings is a bit of a head scratcher for me. I asked a simple question, and got nowhere fast.

Or do you have to order those separately? |

Location: NJ | I think that the patent on the StringTubes was solely-owned by KMC, and MIGHT've gone over to Fender in th'Sale.
Somebody might need to call and ask.
I had the PermanentModels (when they MADE them) installed on all MyGuitars years ago, so I don't t'buy 'em
. . . best decision I ever made. |

You pushed me at the time to get permanent strings tubes and I didn't. Regretted it ever since....... |
