Speedloader strings

Recon

Anyone know where to get them? I was told, by the guy in the shop, that I won't be able to buy them in Cork. Can they be bought in Ireland or would I have to order them in bulk off the internet?

anything special about them?

Balls on both end of the strings. Fits a special Floyd Rose called a speedloader.

not much use on my eggle so, speaking of strings, did jimmy page use specialised strings that allowed extra bending leeway?

feylya

Edit: Or possibly 8's

A very minor point -the spedloader uses barrels rather than balls at both end of the strings. I would guess this is to avoid having their asses sued off by Steinberger who patented this kind of approach years ago.

Having said that they must be OK because my man Buck Dharma has been seen gigging with a Floyd Rose Redmond a few times recently :-)
