Valuestrings EL 9-42 : you should be using these strings !

I have been using these strings for about 5 years now as well as some of my other professional guitarist friends. I have about 40 guitars in my studio so its great to restring at my leisure instead of considering the cost . Previously I paid 5 times as much for my strings to be in a "Pink Packet" but I can say that after using about 200 sets personally over the last few years and another 200 sets for all my guitar students that the only difference I notice is in my wallet ! I use 10s personally and 9s for my students and in about 400 sets i have only found 2 "dodgy" strings which may have been careless winding on my part. AS I change strings very often I can say that I don't think they are the brightest tone available but I found that most strings sound the same after a couple of days and its great to put new strings on for £1 before a gig !
