      Stainless steel strings are brighter and work the best for me. Great response and flexibility are key.

    • GREAT BANK FOR THE BUCK

      E.B. has dropped the ball long time ago. Just because you make lots of strings doesn't mean quality is present, and these are no different. Let's face it, if they stood behind their product they would guarantee it, but they simply don't. If you happen to have a string break during playing or at stringing, you'll be SOL Conversely, if you'd buy a much more expensive one such a Paradigm, they'll cover that. Those are NOT the practices of a company that stands behind their products, especially when they make it as such that quality is simply not a prerogative of theirs.

    • Great Strings at a low price.

      I typically like the .009 gauge strings for my Ibanez, and these fit the bill at a great price. For some reason, my local GC didn't carry these, so I ordered them online. Been using Earnie Ball strings since the late 80's, and have had good consistency between each pack. I still prefer the Elixir's, but these are just fine for jamming.

    • Probably no need to buy anything else ever.

      I've only had these strings on for a couple of weeks but, I absolutely love them. I've played all brands of strings but so far these are by far my favorite. Highly recommended.
