In advance of the string breaking carnage that will be Defiance, Ohio tour, I bought some strings on the internet from juststrings.com. It was $8.90/dozen low E strings, $7.70/dozen A strings, and $7.22/dozen D strings plus $5.95 in shipping. The total comes to $29.77 or $0.83/string. I think this is a good deal. It’s cheaper than buying individual strings at a store at least.
