Good places to buy single strings?

[Anquished]

Hey everyone,

I'm wanting to experiment with some string gauges and wondered if anyone has any recommendations of where to get single strings from for a decent price? I've done a little bit of research but thought I'd ask incase anyone has found something better.

I usually use Regular D'addario strings or NYXL so it'd be a bonus if I could get those. I'm after either a 64, 68 or even a 70 to play with. Also I live in the UK if that helps.

Cheers!

i use strings and beyond for my singles.

I'm in US though, no clue about their international shipping.

I use www.guitarstringsonline.com. But I use freight-forwarding services for shipping strings to my country. They do ship internationally, though (except some particular brands which don't allow that).

You could check out StringsDirect.co.uk, I used them when I had to replace a bass string, delivery was quick and the price was alright. I get my strings exclusively from them now.

Yup StringsDirect are all you need to know in the UK!

Good with Canada too for what it's worth. Fast shipping, excellent service.

I've also been buying from them for a while now. From Canada, so they give free shipping here after 35 USD I think.

I ordered from strings and beyond a couple of times and both times ended up with batches that had a few dead strings. I think companies like String Joy or Kalium that actually make and pack the strings are a safer bet for getting new condition singles then someone who just opens a bunch of manufacturers packs and leaves them sitting on shelves in their paper sleeves.

Obviously ymmv, but just something one should be aware of.

on Thomann you can get individual strings.
