2222 : Hybrids

10 years ago

Bought these for yet another experiment. Using them on a Les Paul Standard. Been using various strings/brands at different times before: 10-46, 9-42, 9-46, pure nickel, nickel plated. Of course there are pros and cons for all of them, but for these strings:

Pros: Soft, and extremely easy to bend. Surely easier than the 10-46 Brite Wires.

At the same time looks they will last longer than Fender 150L, definitely have better expression than Pyramid pure nickel, kick juicier lows than EB2252.

Cons: They seem a little noisier than 10-46, so dirty playing will not do for solos. Harder to get the right overtone in the right moment, again compared to the previously used Brite Wires 10-46.

Conclusion: Not sure if the next set will be the same, but for now I am happy with it.
