Quality


Best strings i’ve came across plus tone is great : crispy/clear/powerfuldefinitely my go to strings for now on 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻i’m in the ...  Read More


Dang solid it survived my roommate for 3 weeks before snapping the high e so i’d gladly buy again


Whatever strings i had before, are complete trash compared to these.


On a break i basically only played my nylon and it immediately went away.

Price


The price is great and so far the strings have held up to a 14 yr old future rocker.

Competitiveness


Amazing durability and just un rivaled sound.


Compared to standard slinkys and paradigms the cobalts are far and away my favorite.


The cobalts, by direct comparison, have a lot less mids, around the same amount of low end and a bit more presence on top.


All comparisons/descriptions are in the context of my guitar (alder body, maple/pau ferro neck with ss frets, hard-tail bridge).

    But over time i noticed an issue with stringjoys unwound strings going 34dead34 too quickly and seemingly causing unpleasant harmonics at certain notes

    I didnt get these looking for increased output or anything like that


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    On tour this summer i started having issues with my fingers between heat road conditions and a ton of hand sanitizer but finger tips kept getting this weird rash

    On a break i basically only played my nylon and it immediately went away


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I think for some reason the conditions caused me to be sensitive to nickel


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I switched to these and it hasnt been back since


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Theyre brighter than nickel at first it kind of reminds me of the tone metal bass players get by always using new strings


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But we just tweaked my high mid gain and it sounded normal
