Strandberg Optimized Tension Electric Guitar Strings - .009-.084 8-string (5-pack) Reviews
If you want to maximize the feel and tone of your Strandberg 8-string, you need to use the right strings. These strings are tailor-made for your instrument. They supply optimal tension by gradually increasing it from 14 to 20 pounds from high to low. What’s more, they add a bit of extra weight to the seventh and eighth string — essential for drop tunings. The .084 string includes a tapered ball end to accommodate your Strandberg’s EG5 tuners. If you own a Strandberg, you obviously care about quality — they’re top-shelf instruments. Get the most out of your investment with Strandberg Optimized Tension strings.
Quality Control Issues
I've bought these strings several times. Approximately 75% of the packs have strings with nicks or weak areas that break easily.
I already switched to a different brand but today I ran out and used an extra unused pack of these I had lying around, and 3 of the strings have these problems in several areas before I even installed them. It reminded me how awful they are, and prompted me to write this review.
Stay away from these. I'd go with either the NYXL Strandberg strings or Horizon Devices set.
