Pahoehoe strings ?
« on: April 28, 2010, 02:32:16 PM »
What happened to all the posts on the Pahoehoe strings? I just received a set and wanted to check the pics on set-up but it seems all the posts have been deleted. Is there a problem with these strings on the Ashbory?There was a video posted a few weeks ago and the strings sounded pretty good to me, but now there's nothing. What's up??

Yah, the original poster's account (Wiley) got deleted somehow along with all the posts he made and the replies to them :(. I was able to scavenge some of it out of Google's cache:

I have been using the pahoehoes for a while now and I prefer them to the original silicone strings.
The new ones are simple to fit, needing no modifications - just ensure they leave the tuner at the bottom of the peg and that you stretch them beyond the peg before tightening it.
They are much stronger than the original strings, but have a slightly different tone with less mwaah and sustain.
They don't need talc, but you can use a little silicone spray if they feel too sticky.

Hi! I was happy to find you had salvaged that cache but alas the pictures were missing so I hunted down them (no high res unfortunately)

I took the liberty (I hope mr. Wiley won't mind) to copy his text and put it up with the correct images.
You can find the salvaged post with thumbnail images at :
