My Search Is Over

Iv tried many different type of strings, there is something special about these, they stay intonated and in tune very well. With distortion the sound is clear and punchy. Wont be disappointed. One thing to point out though if you are used to thicker gauge of strings get the 52-10 then the thinner versions.

Amazing Strings

I bought my first set of these strings around 1 1/2 years ago. Immediately I loved the feel and the sound of them. I came from playing D'Addario XL 10-52s and these felt very similar. However, once I strung the guitar and stretched out the strings once, they would stay in tune for a long time. I probably tune once per week and it is always very close. My first set I kept on… read more my guitar for one year with playing that guitar every single day for at least an hour. I only did this because I was tight on money, and won't do it again, but it was nice to know that they would actually last that long without breaking. As long as you wipe them down they are fairly corrosive resistance. The second set of strings that I put on I used for about 6 months before I replaced them, and they were still playable but fairly corroded. I will continue to buy these strings because I think they sound better than the XT's. Also, for those who don't know having a heavy bottom means that you can hit the top strings harder (great for metal and people who naturally pick hard) but you can still bend the top strings well.

My Favorite Strings!

I've tried a few different brands of strings in my time, but these are definitely the best I've played so far. I was a longtime user of Cleartones, and those are still great strings, but these just feel a little better under my fingers, softer in a way. It feels like they bend a little easier, but the low strings don't feel looser, so it's like a perfect win. I also haven't broken… read more a single string yet, so the longevity is certainly there. I would totally recommend these to anyone.

Very Surprised

A buddy of mine gave me a set of these to try after he purchased the wrong gauge by accident. I have been using Elixr Polyweb 10-46 for the last 15 years. I didn't think I would ever find anything that sounded better. Well, I just did. These strings sound louder, punchier and definitely have more clarity. Every aspect of my playing seems to have more definition, especially when… read more playing with a relatively high level of gain. I'm not usually someone who likes to change things up, but I am going to experiment with these strings for awhile and see how they hold up against corrosion. I may have found my new go to strings.
