      Okay, so I pulled the strings out of their paper sleeves as usual... but as soon as i felt the wound strings they felt kinda weird... I put them all on the guitar like normal and played for a while. they sounded dull and didnt seem smooth on the wound strings like the other reviews say they are (which is why i got them) Ya know that weird feeling stuff you get on your body from "fake" aka stainless steel jewelry? well i got that on the tips on my fingers now... I love almost ever other slinky but not these..

      I would strongly recommend the Ernie Ball 2245 Stainless Steel Power slinky Strings because of there great ability to stand up to some harsh solos and headbanging beats. I love the way they add a sense of smoothness when playing up and down these slender strings. I would also recommend these strings because they come from the a truly respectable brand. I have had no problems with these magnificent strings and hope you pick such a respected style of strings.
