Love these

HMMR 25.02.2026

Made some gauge changes during all these years and these 11s are by far the strings I like best.
They are truly sturdy and almost do not break. Out of the last 10-12 string changes maybe 1 broke but I think that was mostly me upon wrapping and locking to tuner peg on the thinest strings. Also there are several others I like like the Cobalts that ring different and are also quite nice. Noticed the difference in sturdiness between them and cobalts break a bit easier

Only downside once installed is that they do last quite a while so you are sometimes changing them with the feeling they are still ok if well kept since they are not the cheapest.

Last week I changed one guitar to locking turners and had to cut the ones I had just installed recently so that was a bummer since I could not salvage the almost new ones, don't even think they had the time to strecht.....anyhow great strings and even if a bit expensive, totaly worth it.

Very good and high-quality strings

Dimych 25.03.2026

Very good strings overall. They feel solid and give great control while playing.
The quality is noticeable — they sound clear, stay stable, and last well with regular use.
Reliable and comfortable to play.

Stiffest set of strings

DickPuound 01.08.2021

I use 11-48 on a Jaguar due to 24" scale length, which usually for standard tuning have the same feeling as 10-46 in a 25.5".
This strings though are much stiffer than any other pair of 11-48 I've tried so far, much stiffer than regular Slinkys...tone feels a bit nicer but not worth the price upcharge and the stiffness.
