Fake Guitar Strings from Trade Me

Gareth from Waikanae

It will only affect a few people but here goes anyway : -

Guitar strings vary in price from around $12 to $50+ (for a 6 string guitar) per set depending on the make and quality.

It will only affect a few people but here goes anyway : -

Guitar strings vary in price from around $12 to $50+ (for a 6 string guitar) per set depending on the make and quality.
I just bought 2 sets of Classical Guitar strings from Trade Me and they were made by D'Addario (or so the authentic looking packaging said).
I tend to use this make because they have a website there you can check a unique number printed on the inside packaging to see if they are authentic or fake.
I just checked the strings I bought (which both had the same numbers printed on them, these are unique numbers, so something not right there) and when I checked the number C0D7E-1298-268B-121266 on the website www.daddario.com... they came back as fake.
So just a warning that there are scammers now ripping of guitarists for 12 to 50+ dollars a set for strings.

Just in case you aren't aware there is a huge market in fake guitars out there and these can be into the 1000's of dollars each and still have "Made in USA" stamped on them and are hard to tell a fake from a photograph.

Just a heads up, check carefully before you buy online and actually ask if the item you are buying is genuine or not... any shifty answers or items with one distant photo or several blurred ones then leave it alone and move on.

Where is Joe Pryor?

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Neighbourly folk, do not forget to keep an eye out for missing Waikane man Joe Pryor.
The 63-year-old went missing after leaving the Metco Engineering workshop where he works in Waikanae last week, leaving a note saying “be back at 10.30” on a whiteboard. CCTV footage shows him leaving on foot.
