I purchased a Sterling Cutlass CT50 Plus two months ago. The factory strings were okay but I thought I could do better. So I bought a set of Ernie Ball. Horrible! Wouldn't stay in tune for more than 20 minutes and C & F majors and minors sounded sour and off key no matter how many times I tuned them. So I tried these Fender Original strings. Beautiful! Holds a tuning and all notes and chords are clear, crisp and clean. Wonderful overall tone. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for affordable quality strings that won't let you down.

Have found that Fender bullet ends guitar strings are the best fit for an electric Fender Stratocaster guitar. Also I’ve come to discover that these Fender bullet end guitar strings are the best electric guitar strings on the market. Sure, Gibson makes great guitar strings as well, but I’ve never had any Fender guitar strings break or come unravelled. Also, Fender bullets stay in tune and are very reliable in that they take a long time to wear out. Hands down, these Fender strings sound great on my Fender American Standard Stratocaster. I’ll bet these bullet end strings will sound terrific on a Mexico Strat or any budget Stratocaster type guitar for that matter.

We geetarists are a funny bunch: we'll change out pots and caps and pups from our axes and amps all day long, and spend a fortune doing it. But sometimes we could make more tonal difference by just spending five bucks! Case in point: pure nickel strings. Time was when that was all there was...and gee whiz, that was a time when good guitar tone ruled. Coincidence? Nope. These things just sound better, if by better you mean warmer and with a subtle feel that your fingers will convey to your brain in milliseconds. If you're used to wrapped strings, and you like to play blues or classic rock or pretty much anything but metal, these might be all you need to make your rig sound a whole lot sweeter and smoother and just more musical in general. Especially if you use tubes. Tubes and pure nickel are like Gilmour and Strats or Angus and SGs. They just fit. I'm not nuts about Fender acoustic strings, but I like their normal electric strings fine, though Ernie Ball Slinkies have been my go-tos for many years. But these Fender pure nickels are very very nice, and at 4.75, they're a real deal. Most pure nickels run nearer to ten, and these sound pretty much the same, and I don't seem to break many of 'em neither. If you're used to mixed alloy, pure nickels might seem a little "dull", but wait a bit and you'll find that the harmonics are still there when the alloys have faded. Plus the feel is just smoother and nicer under the fingertips. Try a set and see what I mean. It's subtle but it's beautiful. But the main reason I love these is for playing at VOLUME! I turned my modded Hot Rod Deluxe up to call-the-cops levels (the neighbors are getting used to it by now), louder than the drummer by a good chunk, and I got: less squealing, warmer tone by far, and full chords, triads and double stops that felt and sounded smoother and grinded with more harmonic warmth than any alloy string I've ever used. I think there's an electrical cohesion between pure nickel and good pups and tubes that is simply sublime. Check out BB's tone on the legendary Live At The Regal to hear what I mean. That's the stuff. So, if you haven't tried pure nickels, spend a buck or two more (or maybe less!) than you normally do and give these bargain-priced nickels a try. You might find that you're a convert within seconds. I know that my ears sure love them when things are really cranked up; those Zep and Jimi riffs just sound and feel so much more right with pure nickel. And digging into some Otis Rush or Billy Gibbons licks is like night and day. The bluesy stuff just begs for pure nickels. Hell of a bargain at less than five bucks.

After having tried many electric guitar string sets it was time to try these fender strings. The most remarkable things about them are the heavy brass cylinders at the end of the strings where ball ends usually go. The best feature of the strings is that they are in expensive. Beyond that and the brass fittings at the end of the strings I find the strings highly unremarkable. I installed them in a fender telecaster guitar and found that after a little stretching and returning the pitches became stable fairly quickly. These strings are cheap enough that you might want to try them for yourself. I have to say that I have used other strings with which I did have an immediate reaction one way or another. These strings weren’t impressive or unimpressive it’s probably a good choice for someone Who isn’t fussy and just wants a fresh set of strings on their guitar.

I'd say my favorite strings for my kind of Blues / Rock playing are Gabriel Tenorio's 9x48 ALL NICKEL (like Josh Smith plays in 18's or something only LIGHTER!). After that, I'm a fan of Curt Mangan 9-48 and then D'Addario NYXL0942 NYXL Nickel Wound 009-.042. I've never warmed up to Boomers but of course, a ton of great players love them. Elixir Nanowebs are fine, and I really liked Stringjoys, especially your right to really mix and match and to get a wound or not "g" string, but if you buy a 3 pack or bigger, you'll find it frustrating because once you open that 3 pack, none of the 3 string packs have gauges on them (I called the guys and asked about that and bizarrely got a stupid run around that took me off their list). Of course, Ernie Balls are magic, I prefer the 9’s and think they’re the Super Slinky’s, they say everybody uses them, but my favorite strings- the Gabe Tenorios- are pricey as hell ($24 for the nickel purist- I know, compared to all the rest of the gear it's pretty insignifican BUT) so I'd highly recommend using these Fender Pure Nickel wound ROUND CORE strings as their best substitute. They’re pure nickel and round core, just like they all were when Jimmy Page and Keith Richards, David Gilmore, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck were learning to play. Get them Tenorios when you go platinum! PS make sure you know how to STRING round core strings so they won't slide around inside their windings and tension adjust by themselves.
