Long life, great tone, nice feel.

I've tried many string types/brands, coated, uncoated, etc. So, I tried these out and really liked the tone and feel of the strings, they have a little more flex to them. They lasted a long time too and still sounded great even up to the next string change interval.

These strings are very aesthetically pleasing; they look like electric guitar strings. Though they cut right through the high end, it feels like its all bass with somehow no resonance. I don't personally recommend these strings. Though I've heard Martin Co Strings are a hit and miss, so you might get lucky.

    Very smooth and quiet. A softer feel without feeling mushy. Break in quickly and sound good longer than most strings. Great hammer on, pull offs, and bends.

  • Great strings

    They are loud, and metallic sounding and overpower my guitars when strumming, but ironically sound pretty good plugged in. I think they would be good on a dark sounding guitar to bring it to life, but is the wrong fit for a bright guitar. They do help with fingerpicking as the volume is supported.
