Valuestrings EL 9-42 : Very good strings

These are my go to strings for my Ibanez.

In the past i used to buy more expensive strings.

Ever since I tried these out never again i used different strings.

They may be cheap but they do as great a job as more expensive popular strings (even better than some).

They don't go muddy very fast, they stay fresh for quite a long time. That new string metallic "ringing" doesn't go away for surprisingly a long time (to me it's a huge plus,love that fresh metallic string sound). They also stay in tune very well.

The only downside to these strings is you need to stretch them for longer than some other strings to settle them in.

After they stretch, settle in, they become as great as their more expensive competitors.
