Well-priced baritone electric strings for longer scale-lengths!
Great quality strings! Sound great, and come in very well-judged gauges for either A-A or B-B baritone tuning...string tension is very good and feels "natural" across the board. Best of all...plenty of length, so they're absolutely perfect for any longer scale (~30") Baritone/VI-style instruments, especially those with a Bigsby or Jazzmaster tremolo (not just this specific Gretsch model). Mine are on an Eastwood Sidejack VI, and these were the best of several sets I tried out...a couple of other manufacturers' sets I tried just weren't long enough to adequately wrap around the tuning pegs and give stable tuning!

Nice baritone strings
Bought them for my custom 28.33 inch scale baritone, while baritone is in production at the luthier's workshop, I decided to evaluate this strings and install to my guitar ( 25.5'' scale, custom X-shape, tuned to A-standard tuning). So what could I say, after lesser thick gauge strings (.012 - .062'') , this strings are bit out of the ordinary, but guitar stays in tune in much lower tunings than Drop-C, Drop-B or B-Standard, but before the installation to fit them I had to bore the top nut, and might to say in conclusion:
1. Higher gauge of strings allows to tune not only baritone guitars to lower tunings save the tune stability on apoprpiate level.
2. First day or two after less thicker strings they are bit out of ordinary ( like a thick armature :D ), but when do you get used to it becomes normal to play with it.
3. Price discourages at first look, but they are definitely worth the money.
