Cheap strings for cheapskates

As I said in an earlier entry, you could buy really cheap strings here in Davao City, and here's the brand: Paramount. It's made in Korea and even comes with a free pick! And all that for only 129 pesos!

I actually made the mistake of buying the extra light gauge when I meant to buy light gauge, but I think I'll leave them on my guitar for a while. That's how cheap I am!

    where can you buy those? don't they lose intonation after a just a few use?

    they're available at the music section at the ground floor of victoria plaza mall (near penhaus). they're actually quite good, and i haven't experienced any intonation problems. of course i make it a point of changing strings after about three weeks, and at these prices that's really doable.

    by the way, there are also electric guitar strings on the cheap in the same store.
