STRING STREET

Bargain Strings and Cases

These USA manufactured strings in bulk have been a winner for us for years. Most of the price that you pay when you buy strings is for the paper and plastic and the ridiculous advertising claims. What it really comes down to is that there are a few factories that make most of the strings.

We buy them in tubes in huge quantities and can offer them to you at these prices. Our walk-in business at Subway Guitars is like a self-service gas station. We do a huge mail order business around the country and now I'm extending this to our Internet and America's Choice Mall customers.

The only thing is this: you've got to buy 10 sets of strings, just to make it worth while to ship them to you. Add $5.00 for postage and handling of the shipping. I've listed the most commonly requested strings here, but we can offer almost any strings at great prices. For your personal choices, you'll need to call the store.

(G-17) Electric (light gauge) $2.00 per set (10 set minimum) $20
(G-18) Acoustic (light gauge) $2.00 per set (10 set minimum) $20

Cases

(G-15) Hard cases. I'm selling these cases at a highly discounted rate. They're very well-made in Canada with good latches and very sturdy construction. I've spent 30 years of my life repairing instruments because people have "accidents" where their instruments weren't well protected. Hopefully, you won't be needing any guitar repairs with one of these. They're $70. They usually list for about $140.

When ordering, be sure to specify which size hard case you need to fit your instrument:

Electric guitar
Acoustic guitar
Bass

(G-16) The heavy-duty padded gig bag. These offer the best protection of this style of case. They're thickly padded. I would recommend them mostly for the strat-style or electric bass, the budget acoustics and Dobro, but not for the solid-top guitars. There's a whole bunch of zippers and pockets to stash your stuff in, but the feature I like the most is the dual backpack straps. You can ride a bike, hike, or walk with your hands free with this case. We offer them for $25; they have a ridiculous list price of $60, but you won't find them cheaper than our price of $25, that's for sure.

When ordering, be sure to specify which size gig bag you need to fit your instrument:

Electric guitar
Acoustic guitar
Bass

Ordering Merchandise

I understand your concerns about buying a guitar over the Internet. You can't put your hands on it. You don't know what it'll look like, what it'll sound like, how it will feel. Then there are the issues surrounding shipping anxiety: "Will it arrive undamaged?" "When will it arrive?" "WILL it arrive?" The concerns go on and on: "What's the tracking number?" "Will you ship it today?" "When will you ship it?" "Can I get it tomorrow?"

Here are five key points to put your mind at ease:

Your purchase will definitely arrive in good, undamaged condition AND in a timely manner.
Your purchase is insured against damage in transit.
If you don't like what you've ordered, you can return it within two weeks of purchase.
You have the option of a full CASH refund or a trade-in for something else you like. All you pay is the return shipping, which amounts to about $10 within the Continental United States.
You just can't lose.
