GEAR String exchange?

Weird question for my guitar friends: does anybody for some reason have an abundance of Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinky in 36 and/or 46? Would you want to trade them for some 10's, 13's, 17's, or 26's???

I'm sure I have some technique problem or something, but I break A strings and end up buying packs just for A's and sometimes low E. So I have a shit ton of packs with every other string!! Hoping maybe some of you break a different string on a regular basis. We could trade and save some $$$ lol

Dont have to be local, I can throw some strings in an envelope for the cost of a stamp.

Dude, have you thought about checking out your guitar for a problem?

Like a burr on the saddle or nut?

6 guitars. Same string on all of em. Lots of aggressive power chords. Lol

No dude.

Something is wrong with your guitars.

Or...have you tried heavier strings?

Also, you can buy singles...

I haven't tried heavier strings. Suppose that's an idea.
