    We're enjoying how substantial the product is. In turn, it makes the sound more crisp and easier to maneuver.

    I got these for my Ibanez S671 and these strings work quite well. I'm amateur at best but I find these strings ring less, are brighter and all together good mix of sizes. Issues staying tuned is all I have problems with but that's prob my fault anyway.
