I mostly purchased this pack of strings over the other ones solely because of the free picks. Whoever marketed this item knew what they were doing when they included SIX of them, that's right, SIX. Talk a about a charity case, these guys are running around with picks in their pockets and throwing them at people.

The strings are really light compared to the usual 2223 strings I use from Ernie Ball, but a little diversity doesn't hurt. The picks are thin as well, and will crack after an hour of metal and around 2 hours of grunge or and up to 3-5 hours of non aggressive playing. I only have one pick left, the light blue one, but that's because I'm a hardcore guy. What's even worse is that I've been using these picks for the past 3 weeks and now I can't use anything else but thin picks. I think I'm gonna buy another pack of these JUST for the picks. They aren't even that high grade either, they're just picks.

I should have recieved a set of 2223 strings, instead you sent me two sets of 2221 strings. Im not happy at all with this mess up. I hope you will make it right.
