880XL Dura-Tone : Great performance/price ratio

5 years ago

Nothing too fancy here, it is just a "value" string set. I found them perfect for a practice guitar or if spending money on more expensive strings is not justified.

All in all, the choice of strings is something very personal and the best advice I can give is just to give them a try. Another good option is to have a cheaper set like this as a spare in your gigbag.

The only obvious con of these strings is that you cannot expect a degree of durability as good as other brands like Elixir, but considering the price tag, this was also to be expected.
