Am I cursed?
Gatdoc 14.12.2017
I have been very unlucky with these strings. I have long dreamed of putting them on my 1954 Stratocaster replica that I built for myself in 2015. It is a dream to play and sounds superb through it's alnico 3 elements with a very light weight 1 piece swamp ash body and maple neck. So far I have had Elixirs on it while I looked around for something really special.
These seemed to fit the bill nicely and were first ordered many months ago. They arrived quickly and they looked good, being nice and smooth and shiny, so I rushed to put them on. Alas I was too hasty and slipped whilst mounting the d string and ruined it. It was late and I was tired and I have never done such a silly thing before or since. Elixirs went back on until recently when I was able to order more.
These arrived quickly but I could see a problem immediately with the nickle winding wire. It was a blotchy grey colour and left grey soot all over my hands when I touched them. I gave them a wipe down and put them on but although the electrified sound was semi-reasonable and at best a bit dull, the unplugged sound was simply awful and very dull and my hands were dark grey within seconds as well as grey flecks all over my natural wood finish. Great for a really fast relic job but not very healthy! They were also very gritty and tore at my fingers and shiny polished frets.
Thomann quickly replaced them with another set and lo and behold exactly the same problem. I am unable to call or email Thomann at this time due to some unknown problem.
To summarise, I think that Thomann have offloaded some very old stock onto me without checking it and it is a frustrating waste of my time. I hope I have better luck in future.
The outside of both packs were somewhat scuffed with white showing through the orange where the string ball ends sit underneath, so there is a clue they have been kicking around for a while. C'mon Thomann, lift your game a bit here please.

Excellent strings

I use these strings on a custom strat I had built with a blend of classic vintage and modern features. Full of twang, yet a versatile strat that sounds truly awesome.

Edel und warm in Ton und Spielgefühl
Bjo 04.11.2009
Diese Saiten waren bei mir im Grunde ein Fehlkauf, ich suchte Flatwounds in 10-46 für meine Jazzmaster, und da waren sie hier einsortiert. Dabei ist die Wicklung sowas von round.

Trotzdem klingen diese Saiten sehr interessant. Wenn ich auf E-Gitarre mal mit den üblichen Stahlsaiten vergleiche: Sie sind weicher. Tut weniger weh beim Spielen, und beim Benden geht es ein ganzes Stück weiter. Und fühlen sich sehr edel an.

Sie klingen sehr ausgewogen, dunkel, ein bisschen zurückhaltender. Nicht wie flatwounds, auch nich twie herkömmliche Stahlsaiten. Irgendwie scheinen da ganze Obertonreihen zu fehlen, das Signal ist daher sehr viel eindeutiger und prägnanter. Greifgeräusche werden einfach verschluckt.

Alles in allem würde ich diese Saiten für meine Zwecke nicht noch mal kaufen, auf einer Jazzmaster, die von sich aus auch schon eher zurückhaltend und relativ höhenarm ist, wird es insgesamt zu distinguiert für Rockmusik.
Aber ich kann sie empfehlen für Anwendungen im Semiakustik-Bereich, Jazz, Folk, oder vielleicht auch auf einer Telecaster.

Le son vintage
Alexandre986 30.06.2011
Je souhaitais tester des cordes en pure nickel. J'ai trouvé la qualité bonne, le toucher étant agréable. Ce qui est étonnant, c'est le sustain supplémentaire qu'apporte ces cordes, afin ce grain plus vintage, caractéristique de ce type de cordes. La tenue d'accords est très bonne, et la résistance à la corrosion étonnante.
