GHS Big Core Nickelrockers 9,5/48 5-stars Reviews

Interesting option.

I was trying these strings because regular 9 are too soft and 10 too tight on Ibanez.

It works pretty nice for Drop D tunning.

However their sound is not what I was looking for. Otherwise I would keep using them.

NOTE: I don't want to rate string sound... that's highly subjective

my best choice

I applying guitar approx. 25 years, I tried lot of string gauges and vendors...Fender, Dean Markley, Gibson...

I prefer nickel string because of their sound, light feel and touch.It is very easy to bend up notes, also for hybrid picking, shredding or strumming.

9" gauge is too light

10" is quite huge for me

9,5" is perfect "middle" way.

Quality wise there are very durable, but it is quite shorter lifetime (quite quick wear) due to nickel, which his very soft.

I very recommend to use string conditioner to provide better performance and pro-long lifetime.

Good strings

I picked these strings because of their special gauge. Normally I play Ernie Bealls 10-52 on standard tuning and drop D but my new guitar had a slightly longer scale. So I decided to buy these strings for my new guitar to use them for standard tuning only.

I'm a pretty much pleased with the sound of these strings. They have a nice bottom end, have something "warm" to them and they also have some brilliancy at the same time. They sound in now way inferior to the Ernie Balls. Also quality and duability seem to be quite the same. The price is totally okay.

If you are searching for that specific gauge I think you will be fine with them!

Excellent hybrid set

Less bright than Daddarios, less mellow than Ernie Balls. They last good amount of time, definitely worth buying in bulk.
