I actally have them on my testing list, but haven't ordered them so far. The only advantage I have from strong economics so far is the fact that due to the exchange rate my 2 trips to England this month will be a little less expensive

Ach, these americans. An offer like that is not only ridiculous, it's an insult. The regular price is about half of it. Optima Akustik GoldPrices like these are the typical result of punitive tariffs for non-U.S.-based companies. A rather dark chapter of transatlantic economy.

I just put a set of Optima Golds 12/52 on the Lakewood.
String changing was peanuts. The strings behaved very well, handling was excellent.
The first impression of the sound is also remarkable. Warm, yet bright and clear. Let's see how they develop within the next days.
