Review: Haben sich für mich als die besten Saiten gerausgestellt. Ernie Balls rosten bei mir trotz Saitenpflege in wenigen Tagen und sind teilweise schon am Tag des Aufziehens gerissen, so bin ich irgendwann bei D'Addario gelandet. Der klare Sound frisch aufgezogener Saiten (Gitarristen wissen was ich meine) bleibt bei diesen Saiten besonders lange erhalten und gerissen ist mir im normalem Spielgebrauch (bei Saitenwechsel alle 3 Monate) auch noch keine einzige. Erst nachdem die Saiten mangels Zeit zum Spielen über ein halbes Jahr auf meiner Gitarre waren, hat die hohe E-Saite schlapp gemacht. Die Pro Steels zeichnen sich durch ihren bissigen und aggressiven Sound aus. Gepaart mit einem heißen PU iwe zB einem EMG 81 hat man so ordentlich Dampf. Wer es lieber ein wenig dumpfer möchte, kann zu den normalen Nickelwound greifen. Auf meiner anderen Gitarre hatte ich bereits die Jazz light-gauge 0.12-0.56 drauf, sowohl als Nickelwound als auch als Pro Steels und kann alle guten Dinge bestätigen. D'Addario bleibt für mich die Nummer 1

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it really work?**
A: Works as well as light gauge steel strings should.

**Q: Are these nickel free?**
A: The package it self says the strings are made from high carbon steel wire. No indications to nickel at all.

**Q: Do these work decent for drop c and drop b?**
A: I play in D standard, drop C , C# standard and they stay in tune just fine. There’s a period of adjustment (stretching) like any string. But they stay in tune well. And they don’t break nearly as often. Used to break strings @ the bridge but these don’t. I would go up a gauge for drop B for sure. But these are all I use for all my guitars (they make acoustic strings too)

**Q: How many packs of stings do you get? I can get two for this amount at sweetwater!**
A: All D'Addario's are available as single sets or in 3 packs. You didn't indicate the price. Single sets are $10.99 : 3 packs are $31.76. I don't use this set. I use Pro Steel .08's which I find too bright for general use.
