"AUStrings are mind-blowing value and quality for money. I buy em online and, at around $5.00 per set, I can afford to get 6 months supply at a time. BTW they feel & sound great too!" Sweet job Mick!

"G'day Mick, I've now tried both the Electric and Acoustic strings, and they stand up to any major brand I've ever used, including my beloved Martin brand and GHS bright bronze, and I'm one of those guys who sweats a bit, and I like to change strings for every show anyway. Cost has always been a bug-bear in the past, and while there's plenty of deals out there at varying prices, I've found the non-premium brands to be crap in the extreme. Not so in this case! These ARE premium strings!! Six sets of Bronze wound Acoustics set me back under $40, which included express postage. Now that's cheap! You have a great product, as I said before, I can't fault 'em, and to the guitar players.... he don't need to endorse anyone, as the prices are unbeatable and the service is superb.....well worth a try, and if you can find better quality at Mick's prices, then you are probably gettin' em for free."

The ultimate test of a string for me is on my Gretsch because apart from doing a lot of string bending, I'm a bigsby (vibrato arm) nut. Now this wears out strings much quicker than normal (intonation goes).  Lately I have been using Austrings and they last just as long as any others I've tried, but only cost me a quarter of the price! It might sound too good to be true but I do a lot of studio work and I'm pretty fussy, and like to replace my strings every time I record, so it works out much better all round!"

I've used probably every make of string out there over the last 20 years and the further I go the more I realise that good strings are good strings - full stop. What makes the difference is how much you pay for the damn things. Austrings are the same quality USA made strings I'm used to but at a fraction of the price. Whenever I need a set, I just grab one off the pile. It's been a long time since I ran to the local music shop to get my guitar strings I can assure you.

G'day Mick, Greg here, I have tried the Phosphor Bronze 13's and am very impressed i would put them right up there with the Phosphor Bronze Dean Markley signature series, which are one of the best on the market, but are a lot more expensive than your gr8 products, as well as being an Aussie company that all us muso's should support. I have and will continue to spread the word in my Guitar community about these Gr8 value high quality Aussie products . Keep up the good work.

Hi, I just put your strings on my new Fender Standard Tele 1960 Anniversary model and Mayer Signature Fender Stratocaster. Both replacements for my old guitars. Strings sound incredibly good, very good rhythm playing and great sustain on leads, not sharp on the bottom strings either which I don't want. I can't wait for my new acoustic guitar to arrive to try your acoustic strings. Great product, keep it up.

Hi my name is Rod, and I do lots of freelance guitar playing mainly in the country music genre. I have been using AUStrings for the last few months on the road with Adam Harvey, as well as other shows with various artists such as Travis Sinclair, Felicity Urquhart and Beccy Cole. I use 10-46's on my Electrics & 12-54's on my Acoustics and I find ‘AUSTRINGS’ to be great sounding (brighter in top end & punchier in bottom end than most other strings I have used), long lasting and most of all VERY WELL PRICED. I would recommend them to any guitar player.’

I never get much life out of any set of strings.....ever. My sweat just eats them up ! SO....... a good quality set of extremely cheap strings is a GOD send. AUStrings are great!! It's great to buy from a long time mate of mine. Big Mick you rock son !! Thanks for the cheap strings :-) Duncan Toombs

I have been using AUStrings on my mandolin (Washburn F-5), for about 4 months now, and the tonal quality is easily as good as any of the top priced brands, and about a quarter of the price!! I've also been using the phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings for flat-picking and bluegrass guitar, and once again, being a professional musician it always costs money, they beat any competition hands down. A company owned by a musician, always knows how to help musicians!

In the heat and humidity of India, playing 6 nights a week, my strings were still holding their brightness and sustain night after night. The conditions in India were the ultimate test for strings, and these held up like you wouldn't believe!! Well done AUStrings!

"I was really sceptical when I first was looking at these strings. My first thought was this is too good to be true. Boy am I glad I took a chance. Not only did I get the strings within the week, but when I wired them up to my guitar they were fantastic! The sound was incredible, clarity was awesome, and no other strings have held their tone for so long. This Ebayer changed my mind about where I buy my strings from. I don't know how you can sell these high quality strings for so low of a price, but keep them coming!!! Thank you AUStrings You Rock!!!"

Hello austrings, The strings were actually a gift for my husband who was not here in Adelaide when the strings arrived (amazingly quickly!) so I have been waiting to hear his verdict on the actual strings (as he has not used this brand before and I have no idea!) I am very happy to say, he is extremely happy with the quality and amazed by the price, and has asked me to buy gifts for him every week! Thanks for making my hubby a happy man!

"I've been playing guitar for over 15 years and I've never seen a business run so well for price, quality and customer support. You are a rare breed these days. After I received your strings I was amazed. Out of 10 or 15 sets so far I haven't broken one string...and I play hard. I was breaking the other brands regularly. The sound is very good and hold their tone for a long time. The price is amazing, the service is excellent. austrings, Please stay in business!!"

Someone told me about your strings but I couldn't believe what I was hearing so I had to check it out for myself. WOW. I ordered the Electric 10-46 strings a couple of weeks ago and since I've had them on my guitars I couldn't be happier. Now I can change my strings whenever I want and don't have to worry about my wallet!!
I'll be back, Thank you from a customer for life.

G'day Mick. just letting you know that I used your strings on the weekend and they are unreal.... in as far as dollars go, they are amazing. I have worked in a major music store and my response to customers who asked " what are good strings "?, was always.... " NEW strings are GOOD strings ".... now you're giving me the chance to play " New Strings " all year round. nice job... Me and the Band will be ordering heaps more...cheers

Hi Mick, Thanks for the Mandolin Strings. I have fitted a set and they are as good as any others I have tried. I have told all my muso friends about your deals. Anyway, thanks for the fast delivery and may AUStrings do well. I will get some 5 string Banjo Strings of you soon. Bye for now

Hi Austrings, let me start by saying thank you for the very fast delivery. I've been using Ernie Ball strings for the last 5 years or so now, and I have to say I really can't tell the difference between yours and their strings. I do know one difference though and that is the price! I change my strings every couple of shows and with a saving of $16 per set this sure comes in handy. I'll be back.
