  • Solid Strings
Style: 3-Pack Tin
Gotta be honest, but this for the tin for part storage. But the strings are actually great!

  • I did not want to like these, but…
Style: 3-Pack Tin
I did not want to like this. But I love them. I put them on a new custom shop 63 strat on a fresh setup after having a regular set of slinkys on them. The low end remains tight when played aggressively and there is just enough body, resistance and added sustain on bends that they’re a dream while improvising. I’m playing these on a very well set up guitar. I can imagine them being not so enjoyable if the guitar has improper neck relief or high action. 11/10. Bonus: They’re a dream to play when tuning to Eb. ... show more

  • A little getting used to
Style: 3-Pack Tin
I’m not sure what made me try these I’ve been using elixirs for as long as they’ve been around but here we are. First off the string gauge I normally use are 10’s Elixir Polyweb on my electric and the same gauge but Phosphor Bronze on my acoustic so the increase in gauge size at first just took a little getting used to. A few days to be exact. The strings themselves felt…… dirty in comparison to the coated strings I normally use. So it’s been approximately a week since I put them on and since then the strings have become warmer, not nearly as bright as when I first put them on but I prefer that so with that being said………OMG! The tones and colors I’m pulling from these strings are other worldly to say the least. So now I find myself torn because while Elixers give me that wonderfully warm tones and they feel great under my fingers I can’t match the tone I get from the John Mayer Super Slinkys! Itf they would just coat their strings they’d have a customer for life but I think for the time being I’ll being using both brands on and off all depending. So do I like them? Yep! Will I buy them again? I bought the three pack tin so let’s get through them first and we’ll see. So I guess what I’m saying is if you’re looking for amazing tones don’t look any further if you don’t mind a gritty feeling at first on your strings. Maybe I souls have oiled them up first? With fret ease? So, on a scale of 2 to 3 they’re a 3!! Give them a shot you won’t be disappointed. ... show more

  • Good stocking stuffer.
Style: Single Pack
I can’t comment on much for this, but my boyfriend is a huge guitar guy. He put this on a wishlist for me for Christmas, and he was super excited to get it. He searched for this string specifically and said it was the best (I can’t say that for sure, but he does do his research) it seemed like good quality, and felt pretty strong. He said it’s super easy to install and plays really well. Great value. ... show more
