Where can I find zachary strings?

[159]

As title states, where can I find them and at what price?

In case youv'e never heard of them before, see this webby(warning of foul language and excessive spamming of the word idiot):

http://www.zacharyguitars.com/Strings.htm

I'm not here to promote but I'm more of convinced and have heard of someone using those strings before(If not how on earth would I possibly come to have known of these strings?).

Why do you think these strings are in Singapore?

159, try emailing them at zacharymusic01 @ gmail.com ?

From the tensions he quotes, he is using a heavier B and G string and a heavier Low E.

You could make your own set by working out the correct string gauges and buying individual strings. This guy has a spreadsheet for working it out...

Let me add on to what Shredcow has stated.

Why would I want to buy those strings? The first sentence in his starting paragraph is more than enough to dissuade me.

I just cannot see the merit of selling a product by claiming that everyone else knows nothing about strings.

oh hai... sorry I wasn't helpdesk'ish enough. kthxbai.

If tone was related to string tension, then why are the E strings always weaker in tone strength when it comes to vintage radiused single coils when they are heavier in tension compared to the B?

Cool forum.

The best there is in Singapore but it doesn't help you get any zachary strings. Sorreh!

159 decided to do the smarter thing and just ask me, a buyer, wher to get zachary strings. here's my reply:

"hi, since you already were at the zachary strings webpage, you should've seen this link, which includes instructions on how to order:

http://www.zacharyguitars.com/Strings_Prices.htm

you can't get the strings in singapore retail shops. you need to order directly from the guy himself through email, and pay through paypal.

based on what others say and my own experience with zachary strings, his strings are very similar to d'addario nickel wounds, except they have the progressive tension thing.

i ordered 6 sets and it averaged out to about $9 per set. if you want to save $, just buy normal sets. if you truly want to try the progressive tension thing, you can think about putting together your own set or order from the zachary dude.

btwt, i'm more than happy to help, but i must say i found your attitude in your zachary strings thread offensive. good luck anyway.


andrew"

as for progressive tension string sets, they don't improve tone significantly as far as i can tell, but i find them more comfortable to play on, as the feel in terms of tension from string to string is more balanced. i would recommend everybody try a set (not necessarily from zachary strings, a self-assembled one will do) and see if they prefer it.

OK guys I'm really sorry at the rude/offensive way I replied, I didn't notice how rude my reply was after reading this thread over and over again to find my mistakes. I must say that I will try much much harder to be more polite and understanding when replying to anyone.

Besides that, I just wanna say that I was sincere in finding the answer to my question and did not mean any harm, hate or misunderstanding. I sincerely apologise to anyone who found this thread/me offensive and will try my best not to make the same mistake again.

Peace! (And thanks to those who gave me the extra info or whatsoever especially andrew!)
