STRUNG ALONG…

When you see this blog, it will be July 5. Why is that significant?

Read on…

Let me paint the back story for you in a nutshell: I was with another string company from 2017 until 2023. Over time I had grown a bit (well a lot) frustrated with lack of support. Another way of saying I was not a favorite with the rep at the time. It wasn’t like string companies were knocking down my door or sending me tons of emails. But I knew it was time to move forward, but where?

Saw a story on Instagram for this company called Strings By Aurora. I was very familiar with this brand but never thought “Maybe?” I reached out to Jake over there and he sent me a set of green 7s to try out (this was around late June). I was very much impressed with the tone (that’s important, as coated strings can sound lifeless) as well as the durability. Plus my blue Ibanez 7 looked happier with colored strings on it.

After lobbying emails and voice messages back and forth with Jake, I asked “What do you need from me to be an endorser?” and he said that I was in. Simple as that. So July 5 was the day I cut ties with the former string company and became a proud artist endorser with Strings By Aurora!

BTW: I don’t name drop because it’s cheesy. But it was cool when Scott Danough (ex-Bleeding Through/currently with The Suffering) signed on as an artist shortly after.

I might have had a bit to do with that 😉
