I can't believe how cheap these are

Most of my life I have paid 15+ euro for a pack of strings. I bought these out of curiosity and I was amazed. The strings sound excellent! In a blind test I would never guess those are 10x cheaper then what I used to buy.

Sound wise, the strings sound huge with a great low end. Also, the sound is a bit "metally" but I really like it.

I highly recommend this!

Great cheap strings

What else can be said, they aren't bad strings and those of us who prefer the 80/20 bronze string sound can now string their guitar up for about the price of two packets of crisps.

Perfect for the person with many guitars.

jingle jangle

had a few sets of these now, using them on an Epiphone EJ 200 jumbo...

Good quality strings, especially given the price...I find them very bright and playable with a nice ring to them.. I find them getting a little dull after maybe 3 months, I play a lot... but easy to afford to change them regularly at this price, recommend them definitely.

Unbelievable

These strings are ideal, no fuss, just strings that do the job. Bright, stay in tune, been well used for over a month and no issue. At this price why would you not give it a go. To be honest I stuck these in to bump up the package cost, to avoid shipping cost. Now I know, I suspect I will be stocking up.

Bought for a cheap guitar

As per title, these were bought with another order for my disabled relative's guitar whose strings were old and dull. These are a lot brighter than you'd expect for the price, and are all round nice to play. I usually play 11s for acoustic but I am going to give these a try on my Epiphone next change. Just buy em :)

Awesome

Honestly didn't feel or hear any difference compared to my previous "regular priced" brand name strings.

For the price you would be silly to not give them a try at least.

Value for money

I use these strings on my dreadnought. They are fantastic when they are new, they sound great for about 10 hours of hard playing time after which they do noticeably start to deteriorate. I bought 10 packs of these and was changing them every week, but when I plugged into my pickup, I found that only the lowest four strings were amplified. I gave a set to a friend and he reported the same problem (He only realised when he was playing a gig and someone in the pub told him they couldn't hear his B and High E strings!) I will continue to buy these strings as they are excellent value for money, however I will only use them on guitars without a pickup now that I know they don't work, they will be fine for my little parlour guitar and just sitting round the house.

Excellent

You can't go wrong with these strings. They stay in tune and sound superb. I will use them all the time now.

I have used more expensive strings from the "big named brands"and can't tell the difference.

Highly recommended.

Decent strings for cheap

Bought these strings about half a year ago and have had them on my guitar since. They sound really good and I haven't noticed a drastic change in sound after use. Only problem I've had is that the G string is a bit bumpy around the 12th fret, but this is probably due to me bending frequently. So if you don't consider yourself a bender-maniac then these will be just fine, cheap strings, but if you like to bend then I would probably get some other strings.

Good sound, cheap - im glad.

nice at first

But the sounds doesn't last very long. I noticed that these strings don't provide the same tension as other prime brands. My guitar, which is finely tuned, frets out with these strings.

Fantastic Value for Money

Very impressed with the quality of these strings, for the price of a Mars bar :D

I guess if you put a gun to my head I'd say the only criticism I'd have is that they don't feel quite as slinky and smooth as those of a much higher price point, but they are still 100% usable and feel fine. If you can even rub them down with a small bit of string extender or guitar polish its problem solved anyway, and even if you don't do this they are fine quality strings to use and at this cost I bulk buy to save a lot of money. Highly Recommended.
