String set for electric guitar

Latest User Reviews
they sound amazing
i've tried countless different sets on my guitar and none of them sounded as good as these, they're something incredible, i hope they do last but i don't think i am playing rounds on electric ever again
Very good for the price
I use these strings with an acoustic guitar. They do the job quite well. They are not loud of course.
not as smooth as the more expensive items
not bad for the first timer
finally smooth strings at a decent price: lovely
Premim Flatwounds at a Great Price
I've been playing flatwound strings for years because I can't stand squeaky roundwounds (even though they have a brighter sound). These HB strings play just as nicely as more expensive brands but cost 1/3 of the price. If you are looking to try flatwounds, these are a great way to start.
Half the price of Chromes, but not half the quality
Lighter and slinkier than my DAddario flatwounds and half the price. Ok so the look of the string isn’t quite as high quality as the Chromes but they are close, and allow for easier bends and so are better for rock and roll or bluesy stuff. I’d say for those used to roundwounds, give these a try first.
For Jazzers used to flatwounds, maybe they offer less fatigue.
Not bad if you want to try out flatwound guitar strings
I have the lowest 4 strings installed on a cigar box guitar. Expected a bit more muted tone, they are still quite lively, no finger noise though. Good price point to try out flatwounds.
