Great Guitar String

These strings are excellent for classic rock playing styles. The 9 to 46 gauges offered in this pack of strings are responsive enough on the light end to play thunderstruck accurately or other quick soloing related songs, and at the top end thick enough to get that nice robust sound associated with Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, and even some of Guns N Roses material. I’ve been though a lot of string changes over the years, and Gibson strings always get the job done for me. I can’t remember these things ever breaking on me during a practice, or even during cover band related stuff in the barrooms where what ever band I’m with is playing. I can’t say that for the other brands of strings I have tried. However, I do change them out to new ones about after every four to five shows. These strings take some serious abuse from guitar picking, cigarette smoke, and climate/temperature changes while I’m playing. They seem to retain the quality of their sound during the entire duration I have them on my guitar. Gibson makes a superior guitar sting. Try them. You’ll like them.

strung along

I was searching for something special when I purchased these srings but should've stayed with Fender Bullets instead. The mis-matched string dimensions might offer some sound qualities but that's offset by their awkward playability. It's like running up a flight of stairs and having the step heights changing as you go.

These are the best strings on the planet

I've used probably every kind of stings out there and always came back to these. And not just any les paul strings, the signatures. They are extra light on the treble end for bending and thicker on the bass side for more volume. Les picked these himself and they will make any cheap guitar sound good. They are so smooth you will be amazed. Many strings I play with feel like sandpaper compared to these. And the best part is they come vacuum sealed so they have an indefinate shelf life, so stock up!
I live in Key West and the humidity kills everything except these. I will never play another guitar without these.
Stock up!! You wont be sorry

Right out of the package I knew these were the strings for me, just unwinding them and feeling how soft and flexible they are, just like buttah. I slapped em on my SG standard and they gave me a tone I just wasn't getting from slinkys. Definitely ordering more of these.

these are the best strings i have ever used in my entie life. i put them on my les paul standard and they have the greatest tone ive ever heard outta my guitar. These strings have not once gone out of tune. I used to use Fender SuperBullets .009-.042, but I wanted it a little bassier on the E, A, and D, thats exactly what i got. The first thing i noticed when i put these on is how easily they bend. These strings are amazing. Great for Blues.
