2223 : A classic

12 years ago

I've tried a few different sets of strings for my strat, but in the end, I always return to the .009 super slinky. They don't really have a remarkable sound, they just sound like a guitar should do. I mostly use them for clean to slightly distorted parts in alternative, indie, blues and funk. They do a good job and stay in tune for a long time. Not much sustain, but considering how thin they are, that's no surprise.

Playing an average of one hour per day, I change them about every 4-5 weeks, which is enough for me before they feel worn-out.
