Classic for a reason

Rajokahn 19.01.2022

These are the slinkiest of the slinky family. Billy Gibbons uses them, and so do lot's of players with a meaty sound, They'll break easier if your guitar is not set-up properly. Also they tend to oxidize faster, but these are no Elixir. Soundwise they suit styles where you need to jump around the frets a lot with half chords and such.

Good reliable quality and tone..

Cassablanca 13.05.2023

I have been using these strings on several guitars for the past 3 years and I am very happy with the sound and the durability of the product.
The price is also very reasonable!

Friendly to the fingers

Anonymous 07.04.2016

I bought those strings as an experiment,since I was looking for the softest acoustic strings I could find.

Sound:As you would expect from 8 gauge strings,Extra Slinky lack in volume.That could be acceptable in recording situations,but can prove problematic when playing live without the assistance of a pickup or transducer.
I firstly tried the strings on my normal size acoustic.In my ears the sound was thin and especially lacking in the low end.Suprisingly though,I got quite a nice,balanced result when I recorded some samples,placing the mic in such a way that captured quite a bit of the guitar body.
Then I tried the strings on my tenor guitar.I found the sound to be just fine,probably because of the smaller soundhole,the fact that tenor guitars lack the two lowest strings and the "bassy" character of my guitar.
What I also loved,is that those strings are really quite.You can change chords,slide and bend,with minimal finger noise.

Good sounding strings, short lifespan

Ty0101 29.05.2020

These strings are very good for playing fast and smooth. The tone is light, but amazing. Only downside is that the strings wear faster than previous ones I had.

They’re thin strings.

Stian Larsson 10.12.2022

I’m a new guitarist. I thought it was a good idea to get really thin strings. Maybe it is. I’m not gonna buy them again but quality and all that is top notch. They survived some severe plectrum digging in incidents. Nothing wrong with them, but I prefer thicker strings.

Too Slinky

Anonymous 03.03.2016

I used these strings on a fender strat with very low action and they were great for fast lead and bending notes, however, they were just a bit too light for me and I was snapping E strings very frequently which is a pain when playing live. I have changed to heavier strings (10ns)
