2839 Slinky Baritone : G string is wound - What a relief

10 years ago

These strings are awesome for playing low tunings. I don't actually have a baritone guitar, I put them in my les paul.

The problem I had with other sets e.g. not even slinky is that the g string is plain and it gives me all sorts of problems with getting it to sound in tune so I'd always have to buy a separate wound string which would cost me more money and would be a pain.

These strings come with a wound g string and it's awesome.

If you're going to put these in a normal guitar though just be warned that the low E string is massive and likely won't fit through the hole in your machine head, I had to file mine out a bit (as well as the nut) but I'm glad I did. Now I can hit the strings as hard as I want without them falling flat.
