## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does this 3 pack cost $70 when a single pack is $13? Does this have something extra?**
A: Don’t buy it.

**Q: Do these work with a First Act electric guitar?**
A: If it's an electric guitar with magnetic pickup in the usual places, then they'll work just fine. I never heard of "First Act" guitars though.

**Q: How many strings in a set?**
A: There are six strings in each set.

**Q: What is the difference between the nanoweb guitar strings and the optiweb?**
A: The coating is thinner on the optiwebs than the nanowebs, giving the strings a more "natural" feel, and a bit brighter tone.
