Review: Expressive, robust, consistent and reliable never disappoint - Been playing over 40 years and have used many many different strings The quality is comparable to strings costing several times more and is excellent value Ten gauge light and slippery, not too stretchy, easy to bend and just perfect for many styles, country, rock, blues heavy metal, whatever your taste and style Very few breakages and responds well to the lightest or heaviest touch Boccherini, Bach, guns n roses or punk rock, you can hammer these as you like with consistent reliable results Definitely some of the best value strings out there. Cost is such that I’m happy to restring my axes every week or every day if I choose Happy to use on stage, in studio or just for fun 100% great buy 100% recommend
Review: Seem genuine and good quality - Obviously there are plenty of knock offs of Ernie ball strings and they can be very convincing. These however are the real deal and work well. Not defaults when you open them and sound clear. Obviously longevity depends on your playing style and Guitar steup (I use floyd Roses so they can and have lasted for months with a mixture of 2-10hrs playing a week, but then a little too much energy on stage and I can snap a nearly new string).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it low in sugar?**
A: Yes, sugar-free in fact. You could always sprinkle some on though if that's your preference.

**Q: Will these work on a Gibson Les Paul Special II?**
A: Short answer, yes. They will work on most guitars, provided they are the proper scale length. The high e is prone to snapping without much effort. Mine snapped after 2 weeks of regular use whilst loosening them up for guitar maintenance. Still good value though.

**Q: Do they play ok in C# standard?**
A: Yes they play fine in most tunings above standard A

**Q: I restrung my guitar with these strings (they are the right gauge for the guitar) but now all the frets are a semitone out of tune. Any way to fix?**
A: Make sure your intonation is set correctly.  To check intonation, fret string at twelfth fret then do open harmonic at same fret. They should sound the same.if sharp or flat then adjust bridge saddle.
