Reviewed on 3/27/02 by Mark Carlson (343) Rating: After playing many brands and types of strings I am going to stick with these. I like the tone, feel, and quality. I like heavier gauges too and a wound third string. These a little lighter bottom (26-50) end but nice heavy higher strings. Its the balance I like. Price: $6.00-7.00 (new) Where Obtained: Juststrings.com Features: Gauges are 011-013-n18-n26-n38-n50. Made of pure nickel. The semiflat wrap gives them an incredibly smooth feel. Sound Quality: I play blues and rock on a stratocaster through a Fender Twin Reverb and a tube screamer. These strings have a fuller, throatier tone than steel ones I've played (Slinky, and D'addario). They still retain a nice punch though and aren't "mellow". Bends and pitch control are way easy as the nickel is much softer than steel. Durability: They seem to last longer than others I've played. They probably lose the new sounds after 10-15 hours of playing. They hold tune very well throughout their lifespan. I change them about once a month.
