Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Tried them based on some yt reviews. The feel is fine. There are some sweet overtones or harmonics as well as good sustain of the notes. The other 5 are fine.

The d,addario strings hold their brightness for a long time, so why change to new when old is still bright, strong and smooth to the touch. After stringing and two rounds of stretching and retuning ( the usual for me) they stay tuned pretty well right... Read More

These are fine strings, either the pb for warmer tone or the 80/20's which are a bit brighter. Strung on a fender f15 and a martin d-16r. I prefer the sound of the martins over elixir.

Cons

Well, strings are subjective.

Highlights

Quality

Last a long time, stable, stay in tune, sound great and quality is there so you don't have to worry about breaking a string.

They are made to be very smooth feeling and resonate clean, bright (but not banjo twang bright) sound.

None of the strings (like the e string) broke when installing and tuning the guitar.

He broke one immediately on last saturday gig.

Price

Also cheaper than piano wire and just as sturdy keep an extra set in your gig bag in case you need to garrote someone

Worth the extra money, they cost less in the long run.

Shipping

Arrived quickly and i was playing again in no time.

Initially, the sound seemed a little "tinny" but they settled in quickly.

Packaging/appearance

Like new packaging, but the new price; not so much.

I can't remember where i got these strings, but found their black package in my stack of new strings.

Competitiveness

Put on my ibanez and the sound is way better than any others i've tried.

To my ear, they sound brighter than the other coated string brand.
