Acoustic Guitar Strings

Post by **Jaime** » Fri Feb 29, 2008 7:09 am

Anyone know how much I will pay for a set in Hua Hin?

I use D'addario custom lights and prefer to use the phosphor bronze ones but am I simply better off ordering them here in the UK to bring over?

Internet prices here in the UK are about Â£5 for a set of 6 strings if bought in bundle packs of 3 sets.

I get mine from the top floor in the Hua Hin shopping mall, can get Gibbys bronze extra light for acoustic and electric, cost as above.

Saying that some members will know I've only had 5 strings for over a year now!

Cheers fella - I appreciate that. I think what I'm going to do is take a couple of sets with me when I go back to HH at the end of March as they are tiny in the suitcase after all and then check out the shops the boys above mentioned. At 300 baht a set they are about the same price as the ones I use (maybe a bit more given the current exchange rate).

Cheers anyway!

The tip about the top floor of the shopping mall is good....they do have a selection of strings for guitars..

..but only crappy bass strings

Both my son and my son-in-law tend to use the shop on the left hand side as you go from Khao Takiab to Hua Hin. Not sure of the precise location, but I think its somewhere very close to the big massage parlour that seems to be frequented by coachloads of Japanese.

My son-in-law wouldn't use the place unless things were competetively priced, and I know that my son has been very pleased with the bits and bobs he has got there.

Must confess I haven't been for a while but they used to stock all kinds of strings which I found strange for a place dominated by tight fitting swim wear and the largest selection of buggies (strollers) this side of bangkok.
