La Bella HRS-75 El. Guitar RWNP Reviews

My favorites for a 7-string

I use these strings on my 26.5" scale length 7 string. They sound great, don't lose their fresh sound for some time, and the tension in perfect for my preferred tuning of drop G.

Awesome strings

Good quality, good price.

Go too set for seven string guitar

Its a very nice set of guitar strings , they feel nice to play and they last for while

Exactly what I needed

These are some nice strings. Bendy highs and tight low end.

The strings are easy to unroll out of the pack, as other brands sometimes roll 2 strings at the same time, which I find highly annoying.

Will buy again!

Tight set for 6 string short scale at B

I needed a fairly high tension set for 6 string LTD EX with 24,75" scale and in B tuning. The tension is fairly consistent throughout the strings, although I'm mainly concerned with the lowest three. Quality is good, the strings tuned up well enough and have remained in tune since. The feel is good, not too rough, but not as slippery as Elixirs, for example.

The .70 string at B has a weird chorus-like effect to it, but it might be just due to the tuner not taking the string too well and having to wind up quite a few turns of the string around the tuner. Other strings went on the guitar normally and do not have this chorus-y sound to them.

Game changer

Listen, if you want to tune your guitar in Drop A to Drop G, you MUST use a gauge on the 7th string > 0.60 (Recommended 0.70 on drop G and lower) else you will notice that the string doesn't perform well and doesn't show the dynamic rage its meant to produce.

I have been using other brands for my 7 strings that provide the SAME exact feeling than this ones for a higher price.

Feels the same as EarneyB or DDrio.

Came sealed, protected from humidity and they definitely CHUG.

Clean tones obviously maintain the richness and warm sound and thinner strings resonate accordingly.

I dont see myself buying other brand than LaBella.

I have discovered them too late and Im sorry for it.

If you want drop tuning for your 7-string, this is it.

Firstly, I like it because it's cheaper than other popular 7-string sets. I put the set onto my Jackson Dinky JS32-7 to play some Northlane songs and I was not disappointed! The strings are tight and sound clearly, no drawbacks has been found yet. Too soon to speak of its durability since I have been using these for just 2 months. But IMHO, if you carefully clean the strings after everytime you play, they could last much longer than your expectation/

Pretty much perfect.

I needed a set of strings, that would sound good for a Drop A tuning and wouldn't feel loose. This set is perfect for that, and even lower tunings. The sound is thick and the strings seem to last longer than the typical 7 string set. They don't hurt as much as I expected them to and the set resonates amazingly well, even though my guitar is not that high-priced(I use a Jackson JS32-7Q). I would recommend it to anyone, interested in lower tunings. The only con is that one should probably widen the holes in the nut, due to the thickness of the strings.

Great for low tuning metal.

I bought this set because of the massive seventh string but since I didn't know this brand before I didn't know what to expect.

My first impression was very good, the packaging is very strong and I had a hard time puncturing and opening the sealed outer plastic that protects the string; good sign.

After installing the strings I was very pleased by the tightness I got even when tuning it to D#, the seventh string can be drop tuned down to G# and still retain clarity, that's how thick this string is.

the sound was quite vivid on the first few days, not different from other brands, but deteriorated as time went by. Still, I used the strings for a full year before replacing them (I know, I'm lazy) which is a good sign since I had no broken string for that long even tho I use the tremolo very often (and crudely).

All in all I'm sure I will get another set like this soon.

Very good!

Used them to record lately, had a great sound.

I was looking for the thickest strings in the store and these were them. I used them on a 6-string guitar on various tunings (even crazy ones like a double-drop E) and they perform well. Sound is really good, and hasn't gotten worse even after a reasonable amount of playing, the feel is great when having a relative high tuning, as they get quite tight, being so thick (basic physics, duh).

What I am disappointed of was that one of the middle-strings (can remember which one right now) broke on my first week of playing. Well, it was a 7-string set so no problem, but that was still weird. I'd had much preferred to use the exact string I had in the first place, the substitutive is a bit too thick for it's place (3rd or 4th string).

Not for 7-stringers

These strings were awesome for a day or two, then the 7th string lost it's bite and sounds dull now. The remaining 6 are still awesome, though. I think that thick strings of this brand suffers the same issue than most other brands (quick tone loosing). So I wouldn't recommend their 7-string sets, unless you change strings every couple of days. Their 6-string sets are probably okay for long periods of using. By the way, tone of this strings is really close to Elixir Nanowebs: very bright and full, so you really can just cut all the unwanted frequencies with EQ and get any sound you wish.

Very nice La Bella 7 string set. I found this strings very usefull and good replacement of main manufactures such as Daddario/EB, especially because of tension. They are the best for detunning, and in my personal opinion they sound very good in drop A or in A standard tunning, ofcourse you can try tune it lower, but for me the standard A (one step down) is best solution between tension/tunning. I can recomend this set for everyone who like thick strings (but nos so much) and prefer lower tunnings for their 7-string guitar. They sound clear, and they stay healthier and live longer than strings from Daddario.

If B standard isn´t low enough...

I am palying these strings with a Schecter Damien 7 with a 26.5" scale and Seymour Duncan Blackouts. I usually tune down to Drop A or even Drop G# . Even with the slightly longer scale of the Schecter I always felt that the tension of my goto erni balls was too loose. So I tried out the La Belle set. Damn, those are some thick strings :D takes some time to get used to, but after that you will have some great, clean sounding strings, with a huge low end and alot of tension. It can be a bit of a hassle to fit the low string through the holes in the tuner, depends on the guitar. Great sounding strings, great price!

La Bella HRS-75 nice strings

Very good strings, durable and awesome tone.

I've searched for a good heavy gauge set for a long time, and this one I like the most. The set is calibrated very good and no string had ever broke.

I play on a dropG 7string, but it's also good for higher tones like Drop A.

The strings are also very affordable in price.

Excellence is short lived...

Labella‘s HRS seven string set is, on the face of it, an ideal solution for dropped tunings , since the gauges - particularly on the low strings - is seriously hefty. Upon restringing my 7 with this set, I was pleased with the overall tone and clarity they offered, and dare I say it, the 7th string gauge was almost too thick!

After a days recording I set the guitar aside and looked forward to playing these new strings again. A few days later I picked up the guitar and was disappointed to find that the strings had already lost their sparkle. I am by no means averse to changing strings, and realize that strings do ultimately become dull through corrosion, but the sheer speed of deterioration was surprising.

If looking for well balanced tone for a short period, the HRS set will serve the purpose. My one piece of advice however... clean them thoroughly after each use if you wish to get more than one decent recording.
