perfect strings

I always use this amazing strings for my 7-string Ibanez. They last long enough - the durability can be 1-3 months depends on how well you treat them in terms of using any additional cleaning stuff. Moreover, the first two strings never break!

The sound is great and fits my needs!

I use the same type for my 6-string e-guitar as well(6-string set of course).

I 100% recommend this string set

The moment I started playing on these strings I was struck by how different they are from many of the strings I've used in the past.

The sound in itself is actually quite different from your regular strings. It's hard to describe, but there is something similar to a Contrabass Clarinet in the sound wave, sort of like a square wave.

Also, I felt that the tone is very stable and responds well to hard playing.

Another detail is that when the strings were new, they were a bit demanding on the finger skin. I wasn't sliding overly much, initially. You can really feel that the strings are not of regular material.

Though the strings don't stay new for very long, they continue to work for quite some time. They don't get unplayable, but they do get miscolored quite quickly, which I could imagine some people would not appreciate.

Though I'm not sure the sound of the strings is for everyone, I do think they are worth a try, just out of how unusual they are. I might not use them for everything myself, but I definitely do want to use them for some of my projects. And, particularly for distorted guitars.

Great tone!

Really happy with these strings. The definition and action is unmatched. Tried couple of other manufactures and products.
I would say that 10-56 is the golden middle. And cobalt is smthing that is probably very addictive.

Sound ist klasse. Die ersten 2 Tage...
Mr.M.R. 20.11.2019
Danach fangen sie an nach Metall zu riechen. Ja, klar - das ist halt das Material. Aber wovon ich spreche ist der Anfang vom Ende: Korrosion. Sie rosten. Sehr schnell sogar. 1. Tag: 2,5h gespielt. 2. Tag: 1h gespielt. 3. Tag: Rostig. Das trotz guten Luftfeuchtigkeit-Verhältnissen (Es hängt ein Hygrometer direkt über dem Gitarrenständer) und Abwischen der Saiten nach und vor dem Bespielen + Verwendung des GHS FastFret, der alle anderen Saiten viel länger am Leben lässt.
Ab dem 3. Tag wars völlig vorbei: Rostig wie blöde. Schade, wo die sich doch erst so gut anfühlten und nicht weniger schlecht klangen. Mochte den Sound. Schade drum.
Jetzt kann ich leider nicht sagen, ob ich da die Sonntagsware abgegriffen oder einen sonderbaren pH-Wert habe, aber was es auch ist: Ich gehe wieder zurück zu den Saiten, die mir sowas ersparen.

Der Vorteil wäre halt, dass Sie trotz Rost die Stimmung gut halten und die besten Rost-Saiten sind, die ich je bespielen durfte. Immerhin. Bringt nur leider wenig, wenn man diese dann doch austauschen muss... Ich würde Ernie Ball SO GERNE mögen, aber die machens mir echt schwer... :/
