Finally the right string gauge!

I've always had to mix .11 and .10 string sets to get the string gauges I want. But now there's no need for that anymore!

The lighter top strings make playing leads easier while the heavier bottom strings have the right tension for heavy riffing.

They sound just like any other nickel wound string. Nothing special.

They wear average. The sound stays fresh for a week or so and after that they start sounding dull. ofcourse it depends on how much your hands sweat and on your skin. Also on how much you play and how heavy you fret/play the strings.

I'm a heavy metal player, playing 1-2 hours a day, quite a heavy hitter and like i said these strings sound fresh for about a week, maybe 2.

In conclusion: These are just your standard strings, nothing fancy. good quality. But finally at the right string gauge.
