Review: On est sur une qualité similaire à Ernie Ball.
Review: First purchased 5 sets in March 2013, when I needed new strings for my electric guitar. Initially bought these having read reviews on desertcart and other websites to give them a try. At the price what was there to lose? The first set went on a complete restring of the guitar. Found them to be easy to fit and quick to tune. Once tuned they seem to hold tuning quite well. Have restrung the guitar a couple of times since, the rest have been replacements of broken strings mainly high E's occasionally B or G.They take a lot of punishment and still sound great after quite a bit of time in place. How longs? Well, when your high E's start to run out you need to get some more. I re-purchased some more of these little gems in March 2014. Yep, I managed to get 5 sets of strings to last a year - and I've still got some of the lower end strings in the pack Cheapskate, I know, but there you have it. Great value, great sound, long lasting. Don't believe me? Well why not give a set a try, what have you got to lose?

I was just going for whatever the least expensive strings I could find, and these turned out to be really quite good! I usually use D'Addarios and occasionally Ernie Balls, but these have been a very pleasant surprise.
