IEGS7 E-Guitar String Set 009 : It is just a pack of strings after all

5 years ago

Nothing spectacular about these - but nothing particularly wrong either.

I have a slightly longer scale guitar (26.5") that I use in standard tuning, so bending the three thinnest strings is rather uncomfortable with anything but the thinnest strings. Hence, I chose this "light gauge" set.

For what I wanted, it works just right - the unwound E/B/G strings feel very nice to the touch, and have sufficiently low tension that allows me to bend as much as I want.

However, the seventh string was a tad too floppy, even with the 26.5" scale. I ended up replacing the two thickest strings with strings from another set.

Overall, good value. If you're looking for simple and cheap strings, the Ibanez pack will not do you wrong. Just don't expect to tune any lower than B, unless you have some baritone-scaled guitar.
