Nanoweb Light : Nice strings

11 years ago

I recently purchased my 10th set of these strings and got used to it on my Epiphone Les Paul Standard.

They provide a nice and warm sound.

Although I don't have sweaty hands and never had any rusty-strings-issues with other brands I feel that the nanoweb-strings are maintaining a cleaner look.

And in my opinion the nanoweb is a small advantage while fingerpicking, because the strings seem to have little bit more grip than the usual strings.

Cons:

- rather expensive (you can get 2 sets of "normal" strings for the same price)

- When you're playing with a pick the nanoweb-coating might frazzle a little bit, where the pick hits the strings. Though you almost can't see this with the naked eye and I don't think that it affects the sound.
