Re-string Sunday

The volume pot of this Strat died after several treatments with penetrants. It was brought to Beez for a quick pot replacement; Gotoh this time as opposed to the default CTS. Whatever the positive reputation is with the latter brand, I prefer Gotoh for fast execution & durability. Also, putting a set of D'Angelico strings in this one. It had been an OK Sunday. 👌

D'Angelico @ Swee Lee

This D'Angelico set was first mentioned here: CLICK Glad to see them currently available at Swee Lee. Trying this week end. 😁

PS: Hello, December! 

That zinc-ing feeling

D'Angelico was already known for the zinc coated steel strings back in 1938. Come the 1960s, the manufacturing plant was shut down so all was lost in terms of benchmark; nobody quite manufactured strings that sounded good. This was revived recently seeing a collaboration with D'Addario. So it's a D'Angelico design being paired up with D'Addario's coating technology. Hope these will make it here, of course.
