Good quality and sound!
Perfect match for Gibson Les Paul. Good sound, nice touch feeling, long lasting strings.
My go-to strings
I really enjoy playing with these strings, they do not disappoint in their durability on my ibanez rg, with an edge zero trem. I used to play ernie ball .09 slinky strings, and I have to say, that the nyxl0942's are way better for massive dive bombs.
Super bendy.
Bendy yet paradoxically rigid. These strings will bend all the way to the sky yet when you hit the string your pick nearly bounces off them because they are you tough.
Definitely took a bit of getting used to but worth it for the ease of use compared to higher gauges. You probably won't be detuning much tough.
EDIT: Despite what I said above these absolutely can be dropped down to D standard no problem.
Great feel
Thin but still robust, great grip and feel. Perfect for me.
A step up on the EXL 120
These strings are a good step up to the classic EXL 120. Good tone and tune stability.
Great strings - but not really my type
These strings are great, nice sound, they keep the "new-string sound" really for a long time.
What I dont't like is the touch of it. I think I will stay with Elixir strings (Nanoweb/Optiweb), for me they feel smoother - but it is matter of taste, I think.
My go-to choice nowadays
I have always been an Ernie Ball guy but after I bought a guitar with these installed I made the switch permanently. They are great quality and very, very durable.
Have been recommending them to friends as well.
My Tele stays in tune now!
I use these strings on a Telecaster with vintage three barrel bridge. The guitar has some issues with staying in tune and with intonation (the usual three barrel complaints).
However, when I tried these strings, they rectified the entire issue with staying in tune! A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.
Very very happy.
Unbrakeable!
These strings are really unbrakeable!!! I use them with my JEM 7V and Fenders...
Best strings so far!
I have been using these for nearly a year now on my two guitars.
Gibson LP Classic, Fender Stratocaster, they are tuning like none! They sound is just amazing and really clear and they are easy to bend!
