I've looked though the messages in the archive, and there have been discussions of Guadalupe Custom Wound Strings from time to time. Yesterday I got a new pre-owned uke and it arrived with Guadalupe custom wound strings.
I tried playing with them for a while and hated them - I have already migrated my tenor ukes from using any wound strings. It's not that the tone was bad - I could see how someone might like that flavor of sound. However, I hate how wound strings squeak when moving up and down the neck. And hammer ones did not resonate properly. The wound strings made moving fluently around the neck impossible for me.
I changed to a set of T2 strings, which are not my favorite but they are what I had handy. I'll probably change those too, but I just didn't like playing with the Guadalupe strings at all.
