Have any of you had any problems with rusty Ernie Ball strings? I don't mean after use, but right out of the (sealed) pack.
Here's a brand new set as it looked on my guitar:
Check out the thin E string in particular. And it extends all the way along the strings. Here's another pic (ignore the finger--I was taking this photo for another reason):
The last few packs have had a small amount of rust on them, but this set takes the biscuit. I've sent an email off to Ernie Ball customer support, but unfortunately I'm located in Taiwan, so I'm not hopeful. It's seriously put me off buying any more Slinkys (which I've probably been buying since 1987).
