Your question about stringing depends on where you buy the racket. Consider this list I make and and it will help answer some of your questions. 1. Usually only the cheaper model mass retail market has their rackets pre-strung (this means strung by the factory.) 2. Most advanced players do not want their rackets strung by the factory because the string choice and tension has a big role as to how a racket plays. Ex. Rafael Nadal has recently said that a tournament ran out of his normal string and used a different brand, he said he was missing his shots by at least three feet. So he had someone go to tennis shops to locate and buy his normal string. 3. When you buy a new racket from a place like tennis warehouse, they will usually string the racket for free with Wilson synthetic gut 16g for free. This string does not last very long and is only average at holding its tension. So most buyers pay a little more and upgrade to a better string. If you want string recommendations you will have to email me. 4. You will also want to make sure you are getting a racket with the correct grip size for you and use an overgrip so you preserve the bevels on your original replacement grip. 5. Tennis warehouse will actually sell you the stencil of your choice along with stencil ink so you can apply the logo onto both sides of your strings just like the pro players have. 6. If you are asking for a not so common logo, you may need to ask them for the company phone number and usually someone there will have a stencil to sell you, but the ink you will likely need to buy that from tennis warehouse or Holabird or other tennis specialty shop.

It depends where you get it strung at. Some stores will do it for free, and other will charge you. I'd recommend going to a specialty tennis store and not like a Big 5 or Sports Authority. They'll do a better job of stringing it. And no, they wont have the brand design. Unless you get the stock string that normally comes with that racquet.

no it will not be free. it takes time to find the right tension and every think. i think that you can ask for a design on the strings but that would also cost something, or you can do it your self.
