(Edit: Gone) Anyone want some 8 gauge strings?

I am thinking $gone shipped. 5 packs total. Purchased within the last 18 months. Just don’t want them to go to waste.

Curious, didn't get along with 'em or did you move to Billy G's 7s?

Great set to use for Nashville tuning.

I'm surprised I never tried the 7s! LOL  

I didn't get along with them. May be my imagination, but the pressure of my fingers seemed to bend the strings out of tune too easily. How and why I wound up with 5 sets is a mystery to me.

I use 8-40 on my Virtuoso - they feel very natural on the slightly longer scale length.

Bryan was cool to let these go for cheap. I told him at 61 I've had a few surgeries on my arm and I wanted to try the lighter gauge. I mean I've tried eights before but it's probably been decades! 

Has anybody tried sevens?

I tried Rev. Willy's Mexican Lottery Brand 7s a while back. 3-4 years ago. Arthritis of the left hand was getting worse, and I hoped they would help. They were good strings but didn't help my hand and sounded a bit wimpy. So I went back to 10s.

I'm waiting for ol' Billy Gibbons to say he's got a spider that strings webs across all his guitars to his spec.
