Lee, the deal is they were so inexpensive I have handed them out freely so I probably gave away over half of them. I usually have to replace one .011 between string changes.

I have used a Jagwire 11.5 for a third about a month now. Not only has it not broken yet, it sounds better to my ear. It,s not as thin sounding.

The best .011 for me is a .012!

I don't think we need to spend any more time on this thread. I got the information I was looking for. Thanks very much again to everyone for your help.

I don't know which .011 last the longest,but I can tell you which one lasts the shortest.
Bill Lawrence. I can't keep one on there for more than a week. At best,a week & a half,& I don't play that often. HOWEVER,I wouldn't take ANYTHING for my 2 B.L. 705 p.u.'s

I get my jagwire strings right here on the forum. I order by mail and get them back in 7 to9 day. I use .o12 for my third string. I haven't broken one in quite a while. I appreciate the good service b0b gives me ~~

Shameless plug:
...& buying your Jagwires from b0b supports SGF too. That's a very good reason, IMO.
