2221 : You won't get better for the price

Or even at higher prices.

When I was about 17 I walked into my local store ready to change strings brand as whatever I was using then had a habit of rusting too quickly. I remember thinking: is he just selling me the strings in the pink pack because I'm a girl? Whatever the salesman's reasons, I was incredibly happy about the quality I'd got for my money. I soon moved on to the .10's as I personally find them easier to play, and it's the brand I've been using ever since.

I can't really speak for breakage issues while playing as I do so quite lightly, but I do tend to change tunings a lot and apart from the odd G string here and there over the years I haven't had any problems.
