I get a lot of my strings from local eBay stores. This saves me postage costs and I buy in bundles of 10 normally. If I lived in the UK I'd try the Strings Direct site. That's a cool looking store!

I'd like to buy from the local music shop if their prices weren't so far adrift of online ones.

I get my strings, and most of my music stuff, from Thomann.

Good point. I should check out my local guitar shop, I drive past it nearly every day.  I'll see what they have to offer before buying online.  ;)

I've actually received a couple of string sets from String Joy and I'm loving the first set I've tried. They allow you to custom order your strings (which for my second set meant I got wound strings for all but the high B and E stringsâ€"I'm very keen to try those).

So far though, the first set feels great and I believe they're corrosion resistant.
