String broke within 2 weeks.

By David from Ohio
Music Background: Semi-Pro

Nothing like taking the time to restring and setup only to have one break within two weeks! I was majorly bummed out, and I think I'll switch to Slinkys.

NOTHING SHORT OF SATISFIED.

By D. P. from MOUNT IDA, AR

Always reliable, and swift with delivery.

Never disappointed with Sweetwater.

As far as thy D,addario 9-40 XL'S? I have usesed exl120 9-42's sins I was a turd. Tone chasing is this guy, and I am about to find out if this is a smart move.
In layman's terms.., I have never had any reason to use any other.., I tried Boomers back in the day.., but always successful with D,addario's.
Love them.
Pace !

even reponse

By Mike H. from W.P.B.,Fl
Music Background: solo and band performer

The concept of altering string gauges in a set was a relatively new idea for me. After trying a couple of sets, I must admit the response is more uniform across the neck and makes playing easier. Add Daddario quality and that's all you need.

Absolutely Fantastic Strings!!

By Kevin B. from KANSAS
Music Background: Long and varied

I have been playing guitar for 50 years now. I have tried about every brand and type of strings and gauge sets. I used to play professionally, now more with friends and local things. I have to say, I wish I would have tried this set sooner. I really think these are the best for anything you want to play. The bass strings are deep rich and harmonic and the the high strings are clear articulate and full sounding,no tinny sounds or weak strings. Great for Blues bending to country and rock at least for me and my herd of guitars. Sweetwater has absolutely the best price on these and they have fast and secure shipping. Absolutely the best strings for my arthritic hands too!I can rock out like 1979 all over again.

These are the cat's meow

By Mark from Cleveland
Music Background: Started playing guitar in 1973, or so, after hearing Trower and Procol Harum.

Perfect. Balanced tension. Good tone. Intonation brings saddles closer to one line. Of course, it depends on your style, but for single-note lines, these strings are the best I've used (been playing since 1973).

I like um!

By Scott B. from Tennessee
Music Background: Hobbyist for over 40 years

I like these strings. I play a Les Paul and usually use light or super light strings. Thought I'd try these and actually prefer them over the lights. The do feel more comfortable and consistent.
