Valuestrings EL 10-46 : Great

11 years ago

So after 6 years the B string on my TELE snapped. Damn better buy some strings hey! Found these & they looked great. I'm not a pro, but price & quality are important to me. These certainly fit the bill. The come nicely packaged in the usually plastic envelope & each string is secured in a sealed airtight plastic bag. It has the "cut along here" instructions to open them. The outside of each bag is clearly marked with 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc so no confusion to which is which once you've removed them from the main envelope. The strings installed well, no hiccups.

The sound is nice & bright. It gives my TELE a great twang sound when needed. Harmonics are easily rung too, I would guess it took the strings about 3 hours of solid playing to stretch out & finally begin to hold the tuning so nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion, How well these last & how long the tone falls off is unknown at the moment. If that's important then i guess you pay a lot more. At the moment i'm very happy with this purchase which i comforting because i bought 3 packets. I think 6 years between string changes is slightly too long & at these prices i can push the boat out. I will be buying again.
