No worries, Bill, I did ask to be mocked! And deserve it! Never thought about the acclimation thing, but those strings had been in the house for a few days before I opened them. Haven’t been able to get more strings yet, but I noticed a big improvement in the tone of the low E string on that guitar with the new set. I just bought this guitar (Epiphone ES 339) a few weeks ago, and I wonder if the guy had not changed strings in a long while, because the E and A strings especially sounded pretty dead to me. Important thing is that he obviously babied the guitar as it looks virtually new after I polished it up and oiled the fretboard.
