They last a long time and sound great. I do wipe down my stings after playing and if humidity is high I spray a little WD40 on cloth to give back that slippery new feel. Less string breakage. In fact since I stop using E ball strings I haven't broke any

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Guitar Strings I've Ever Played On!

I'm thrilled to share my experience with these incredible D'Addario Guitar Strings! As a guitarist, I've had the pleasure of trying various string brands over the years, but none have impressed me as much as these. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, trust me when I say that these strings are a game-changer.

The Sound: The tone is rich and full-bodied, with a clarity that's hard to match. From bright and snappy to warm and mellow, these strings seem to bring out the best in your guitar. Whether you're playing jazz, rock, or folk, D'Addario strings will make your music shine.

The Feel: The texture is smooth and even, making for a comfortable playing experience. The tension is spot-on, with just the right amount of resistance to keep your fingers moving freely. No more worrying about muting or adjusting; these strings feel like an extension of your own hands.

Durability: I've been using these strings on my main gigging guitar for months now, and they still sound like new. That's a testament to D'Addario's legendary quality control! Whether you're playing live shows or recording in the studio, these strings will withstand the demands of constant use.

The Value: Considering the level of craftsmanship that goes into each set, I believe these strings are an absolute steal at their price point. You won't find a better value anywhere else!

Cons: None! Okay, okay, maybe one: you might find yourself getting too attached to your new favorite strings and forgetting about all those other strings sitting in the case...

You can use them on fenders or Gibson's they're clear & articulate warm and easy to bend also very smooth especially with humbuckers on Gibson's they sound and feel great they were the first string I ever used back in the seventies I went back to them after trying everything for Ernie balls to boomers you name can't really beat one of the the makers of the original guitar strings if you've never tried them try them you will not be disappointed the best thing about these strings is you can intonate so much easier some strings I cannot get a few of my guitars intonated so I had to use these d,addario,s and the intonated perfect who would have thunk it! I got that tip for my guitar buddy of mine. Also I do like fender strings on some of my strats when you buy your strings always buy them at least a three pack

5.0 out of 5 stars Decent enough strings for electric guitars
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2024
I used to think that Ernie Ball Slinky strings were pretty much the basic standard for generic electric guitar purposes. That still might be the case, but D'Addarios are so prevalent everywhere that now I think it's kind of a toss-up. I have been using Elixir strings but I'm starting to think their higher cost isn't worth it, at least for electric strings (I still love Elixir strings for acoustic guitars though). And I have used stainless steel strings for electric guitars in the past and like them better than nickel strings except for the fact that they are noisier. So I bought this pack to serve the needs for just basic stringing of my guitars. They will easily fill that need.
