favourite strings

this set is for sure my favourite ones :)

Superior sound

These strings offer a brilliant combination between a strong, muscular sound and an easier playability on the first three strings. It's not the first time I buy this product, but I'm always pleased by the great versatility in sound this string set offers. The quality is very good, like on most Daddario products.

Pros:

- Very versatile sound and playability

- Very durable strings

- Fair price

Cons:

- Never confronted any...

sounds alive

these strings make me feel alive. they sound so amazing it blows my mind. I had used earnie balls before and these came on my Harley Benton guitar, it was the first time i used these and im hooked for life. This guitar and these strings have inspired my playing.

Solide Saiten, gibt aber bessere...

Nachdem ich Jahrelang Dean Markley "2508 CL" gespielt habe, wollte ich andere Sets probieren (alle .009-.046).

Im Vergleich zu den Markleys sind diese Saiten im ersten Moment Klanglich etwas weicher, werden aber ebenso schnell härter und haben dank meinen schwitzigen Fingern schnell Korrosion angesetzt.

Bin im Endeffekt bei Earnie Ball "2222" Hybrid Slinky gelandet.

Best Strings That I Used So Far

I had been using Ernie Balls for ages but now I thought to give these ones a try. I was pleasantly surprised. The sound was pretty much the same to EB's but the durability and the overall feel of these string turned out to be better. I'm convinced and pretty happy with this purchause and will be buying D'Addario strings in the future.

Perfect tension

Perfect tension for a E tuned 25.5" scale guitar

Doing their job

I'm trying different brands at the moment, Boomers, Ernie Ball, this time it was Daddario. They were easy enough to install, no string snapped. They lasted as much as the other brands, I didn't find any negative points, but I still prefer the Ernie Ball, as a matter of personal feeling. But it's totally subjective, these are pretty good quality strings.

Very good strings.

I use it one year in a row.Even now everything sounds great.

Good strings for not only beginners, but also for experienced guitarists. Good sound, moderately hard, but not too much. I bought a diameter of 9-46, next time I want to try 9-42 maybe. If you don’t know which strings to choose, then these are quite suitable for you. This is my opinion.

i love them

These strings are from qualitiy,sound and feeling more than good,just as you expect from daddario them to be.

The 09-46 diameter are the perfect setup for me and I would recommend the to anyone

Weak fingers!

These are now my favourite strings. I like the easy bending of nines but the bass end can sound a little lacking. With these I get the best of both worlds. They last me a long time, I am lucky that my hands do not sweat much and they sound clear and bright. I particularly like them on my Fender and PRS guitars.

You cant go wrong with Daddario

Packaging is great since the string are sealed. These strings just work, they arent coated or anything like that just pure tone (which i like)

But be careful of over stretching them since that is the only reason i have broken these strings.

some of the best strings

Great regular gauge strings. I have always used ernie ball, and I want to take a change. These strings are equally good. Hard to make a comparison without doing an AB test. I would recommend these as much as the ernie ball.

Most amazing guitar strings i've ever used

I'm gonna say that these string are the perfect combination of what i like: good tension, chuggy bottom and light top. I've tried several manufacturers, Elixir went a bit frayed in the place where i was alternate picking, Ernie Ball went kinda rusty after a month or two, but these are golden. I play metal mainly and for me, especially on drop D or Eb tunings, D'Addario are perfect. Just gold at the price of almost nothing!

Really good hybrid set that takes 3 strings from a 09-42 set (the thin ones) and 3 from a 10-46 set. So it gives a good rich sound on the lower strings without making the upper ones too hard to bend.

Decent

Those strings are among the most standard strings in rock and metal, the thin gauge in the higher strings enables easy bends and light playing with the bright tone, and the lower strings are more riffing friendly as they're a bit thincker than the standard set that goes to -0.042. Those kind of strings suit well for metal as they aviod any shrill highs on the lower strings. They are also very good for switching to drop D tuning (on the 25.5" scale) or even half step down,

Those strings however, disappoint a bit with their sound compared to Elixir strings for example. The period of shrill tone you get for the first few hours of playing with the new strings is quite long with those strings, though for non-coted strings they do last for quite a while.

While a good and safe choice, they are not the best on the market.

Cheaper than EvH equivalent.

Bought these to use on my Wolfgang, based on the gauge already on there. I've used D'addario strings before and really like them, although these days I tend to use either Ernie Ball or Rotosound 10's. I'd forgotten that they have a nice clear sound and feel,(I know most new strings have that, but these keep that feeling and sound for longer). Have to say, looking at the product page for the EvH strings, they actually appear to be in the same packaging as these, apart from the logo.....are "his" strings made by this company? If so, not to take any money away from Eddie, I'll go for these every time at a good £2 - £3 cheaper.

Nice compromise

I like a fairly light action, and for a guitar that I would be exclusively E-tuning I would use regular 9-42 super lights. But I often tune E-flat or drop-D, and the 6th string gets too sloppy for my taste in those instances. These hybrid sets are a nice option for that. The high strings are still light and easy while the low end maintains more stiffness for lower tuning setups - it's the best of both worlds. These are a little bright when first installed but they mellow out fairly quickly and seem to perform consistently for a long time before getting too dull. To date I haven't broken one.

I've been using Ernie Ball's for years and fancied a change.These strings have a little more zing to my ears and stand up to all the rigours of playing very well.

Sticking to these from now on.

Another set of D'Addario strings that didn't disappoint

I've never had a quibble with D'Addario strings, except for on one occasion when I opened a new pack to find only 5 strings in it, but that pack wasn't these, so onward we go.

The first time I used these, I noticed that the fatter bottom strings gave a bit more beef to the sound of the Strat they were on and they had a bit more substance to them than the bottom of regular 9s - not by much, but enough for me to notice whilst chugging along on them.

They stayed fresh sounding for a fair length of time and gave no breakages. Inevitably, there comes a time when fresh strings are required and these were replaced by more of the same.

The price is nice too.
