This is most probably my final pack of D'Addario strings, unless I have a forgotten pack in some guitar bag pockets somewhere out there. I've been an ardent fan of this brand name since buying them from the Yamaha Store (Plaza Singapura) & back in the day (early 1990s), the manufacturing tech was severely lacking when it comes to durability / string life. D'Addario strings would deteriorate the moment you handle them. By then end of a playing session, let's give it an hour's worth of consideration, you'd see dark spot on various parts of the string length. But back in the day, a pack of D'Addario strings was $5 & it came in those plastic packaging where each string resides in a paper envelope. Fast forward to 2025, a pack of D'Addario strings is $9. There were significant product improvements along the way but in the mean time, I'm not paying $9 for a pack of strings.
I'm leaving this here for your reference. Strings are non-coated & a set of 9 - 42, available at the local shops here. There are other brands out there, of course, I'm just short-listing those that I've tried.
