Reviews

Best strings i have tried!
I absolutely LOVE these strings. They sound great and feel great. My only con is that they have more finger noise when sliding up and down the fretboard in comparison to other coated strings i have tried, but with a little time to adjust that goes away. I always use coated strings due to my hands corroding strings at record speeds. I try to slow the rate down by washing my hands before playing and wiping the strings down when im finished which helps extend my strings life, but they still die pretty fast. Coated strings still dont last me as long as they should. With Elixir or D'Addario i can get a good 2-3 weeks out of a pack before they start to sound dead, but these String Joy strings are going on close to a month now and still sound great. Im definitely going to be using these for the foreseeable future and i would highly recommend them.
worth every penny
After watching a video of a factory tour of Sringjoy, I decided to give them a try. I have been buying strings for 20+ years and these are the first brand I have felt like deserved a review.
Great strings
These are great strings. But I like the sound of elixir strings better. PS don't get the free shipping if your in a hurry, took me over two weeks to receive my strings. They use a very slow part of USPS
Disappointed
I've had these on a Les Paul Modern with locking tuners for about 3 weeks. I'm taking them off and going back my old brand. Sometimes they sound ok but some chords just sound off. Their in tune but off. They also don't hold tune nearly as well as any other brand I've tried.
Hate them
I can't wait to take these off my guitar! Sticky as hell.
