There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My 40 string was the only one that came defective but customer service was very professional and speedy. The Ernie ball team were very fast in giving me a replacement and it only took about three to four days to receive the strings.
Overall I recommend this product! If there’s ever a problem costumer service will be there to help you without any problem.
