Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

They're boomy, and work well for chords and sustain. My guitars feel better than ever, they even sound (slightly) better and brighter.

They are super easy to play, stay in tune, and do not make your hands tired even if your bending and soloing all day. They play a lot faster and smoother now with a lot less effort.

Do all this and depending on your axe you might love the outcome, it’s worth a shot! Give'em a try. What a hoot. Non-biased open experience.

I change strings generally twice a song to keep the fullness on a track that's professionally going out. The guitars stay in tune after new strings better than most other strings i've used. No tuning issues.

I’m surprised mr gibbons allowed his name to be associated with this product. Just not compatible with my style of playing. I guess it's obvious if you look at it from a profit motive.

Quality


Theyre a high quality set of strings that has unbelievable longevity


Light and quality strings easy on fingers


I don’t feel like the quality is what it should be for the cost of these strings


Again nothing wrong with the strings themselves

Packaging/appearance


They sound really good not sure if they sound different enough to notice or not but the packaging and marketing is pretty sweet


That out of the way these strings are great for electric guitar


These strings cost too much to have such terrible packaging

Competitiveness


I put these on a ‘70s gibson sg


Just a thought willys gauges with nyxl steel
