2221 : Good sound, but too much breakage

5 years ago

Now this may be specific to me and to my band mate, but we've been trying these out for some time and we're on the fence about these strings.

We both play fast Thrash Metal on guitars with floating tremolo bridges. These strings sound great, no doubt about that. But somehow they keep snapping. It's almost always the A string, sometimes the D string or the low E. Idk if this is specific to our play style and to the music genre, but this is a problem I never had with D'addario strings in the past for example, and since we both switched to the latter, the breakage problem mostly disappeared.
