Review: 7 gauge+floyd rose=effortless flutter and bends and smooth tight playing!!! - If you have ever wanted to get CRAZY bends I cannot recommend 7 gauge strings enough. I use these for standard, D sharp, D standard, and I even use these on my 7 string guitars and just add a 52 or 54 for the low B string and they work amazingly well. Low effort for fretting and bending. I have yet to break any strings yet which was a fear. Originally I had bought them to use on a guitar with a Floyd rose thinking (less string tension=less spring tension, ease of playing, and a extremely expressive tremolo feel) I can 100% say that my Floyd equipped guitars are effortless to play and flutter for days with a flick of my pinky and that includes my 7 strings. I had a million people tell me they were to light of a gauge for down tuning (I play tech death (Nile, necrophagist, revocation)) well all those people have now played my guitars and are considering going with this route now and not fighting their guitar instead of enjoying it and playing the hell out of it. I’ve noticed that the lighter gauges also give a tighter sound especially in the low end since it doesn’t take a lot to get the strings moving and they aren’t taking up all your energy or picking real estate. The ONLY things I can think of that I would like to see that isn’t available as far as I know, would be a coated set since I have xenomorph sweat, and if they swapped a couple strings around (9 for a 9.5, 13 for a 12, 20 for a 18w) that would make it a 100% balanced set and I’d love to see all this revisions above put in a 7 string set and then just add a 52 or a 54 for the low B string so I could quit buying a whole other set just to use the 52 and throw the other 5 strings away.
Review: quality and price - excellent strings, light and east to bend, more comfortable than heavier strings, nickel makes playing easy. surprisingly they stay in tune longer than expected.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are these ranked #1 in the category "Fishing" ?**
A: When a company puts a product in some obscure category, they can get the "best seller" icon when they inevitably get more sales than the other products in that category. That's how you end up searching for something like "guitar strings", and multiple products show up as the #1 seller. Why Amazon still allows this after all these years, I will never know.

**Q: Do all 6 strings come in the "1 pack"?**
A: If you note on the front of the package, it has a list of numbers (10, 13, 17, 26, 36, 46 on the "Regular Slinky" set, and similar on others). These are the string gauges included in the pack. If there were only one string in the pack, it would list a single number, because you'd have to know which string it was.

**Q: what is the difference between slinky and non slinky?**
A: Slinky is just a line of strings from Ernie Ball, the "Slinkier" they are the thinner they are, regular Slinky are 10 gauge strings, super slinky are 9s, and "Not Even Slinky" strings are 12s (the number represents the gauge of the lightest string in the set).

**Q: I'm looking for extra strings for my new Les Paul Special II. I'm buing guitar from amazon, it costs $149. Are this strings compatible?**
A: Short answer, yes they should be fine. Long answer, the comparability between strings and guitars doesnt matter, its the string slots that in the nut that matter. The les Paul's usually use bigger strings anyway.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good strings for dummies
*by D***E on July 25, 2026*

These are my most favorite strings by far, i've tried their standard and super slinky's and I put these on every guitar I use. I own a lot of guitars with high action and these strings make it so much easier to play on high action guitars due to their smaller size so I'd recommend these for those with high action. They have good durability, never had to fear snapping the high E when tuning this. It's easy to put on and off unlike some strings. They have more of a brighter sound to them, wouldn't use them for darker songs or low riffs unless you're some professional that can pull it off. The packaging is really nice too and I like how they put each string separate for dummies like me that can't tell them apart by default.
