Valuestrings EL 10-46 : Incredible price, decent strings

I usually use heavier strings. I bought these to experiment a little, and also bought some sets of 11s.

I have always found that strings deteriorate very quickly, no matter how carefully I wash my hands before playing. I found that changing strings as often as I would like was prohibitively expensive.

This is true no longer! At less than £1 Sterling a set, I can change my strings as often as I like...

Tone is important to me, but I don't believe that something needs to be more expensive to sound better. They sound absolutely fine on my home-assembled kit Stratocaster through my Bugera V5.

It's possible that they wear out slightly quicker than other brands, but they are so much cheaper that it simply doesn't matter.

The only fault I can find is that I can't buy the same brand strings for a similar price in gauge 12.
