.080 Electric Guitar String : Best low F string I've tried so far

5 years ago

I used this string to tune my 28" baritone for drop F tuning

The string has a clearly defined sound, not as metallic bright as fresh Kalium strings but it lasts as long as promised, about half a year, unlike competitor strings which go dead way sooner, with the exception of Optima strings, which is about the same.

Pro's

-Clearly defined sound, which has a rather of 'growling' character when distortion is added.

-lasts very long.

-flexible, easy to bend.

-less finger noise than any other low .080 guitar string I've tried so far.

Con's

-Muddy higher on the neck after a while (12th fret and higher after several months).

-Less initial brightness than some other string companies, but not muddy, just less metallic than for example Kalium strings.
