Review: Great budget guitar strings. - You get exactly what you pay for. A good set of reliable strings to play electric guitar. There's no fancy packaging, but they are clearly labeled and perform nicely. They have a good feel on your fingers as well. Great pick up if you need some strings.
Review: Some of the best strings I’ve tried - So far these are some of the best feelings strings I’ve tried. I mostly runs 8’s since I like the ease of playing lighter gauge and I’ve tried most popular options. My go to prior was the Ernie Ball Stainless Steel since they’re cheap, have lasted the longest, and feel great. The only issue I had with those was the break in period and tendency of breaking if I bent too much the high strings during the first week. These on the other hand felt amazing straight out of the bag, and almost felt like the Ernie Ball after 6 months of use. They stay in tune well, have incredible feel bending and doing vibratos, haven’t broken on me even while heavy bending during the first week, and cost the exact same as the Ernie Ball. The real test is seeing how long they last, but even then I’m prefer the feel of these than the Ernie Ball.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I need to just change out my little e-string. I have a full size, will these work? I've never bought strings online before...**
A: If you just want to change 1 string then this might be a bit too much product than you need. Usually when one string breaks then it is best to change all 6. If it is an electric guitar then these should work fine for you. If you just need one string then search for something like a ".010 single electric guitar string" and you may find exactly what you want. Best wishes.

**Q: These sound a little twangy when i put the lo E on. Is that expected?**
A: Like pedals, guitars, and amps, this question is subjective and depends on the gear you're using. Are you using these on a Fender guitar (or any single coil guitar)? If so, the guitar itself is going to have a twang sound to it. These strings are made of steel with nickel coverings. That means higher output from your pickups (because they're magnets and they like steel better than nickel) so that could account for the twang you're hearing.But like I said, what sounds like more twang to you could sound different depending on someone else's setup. It's always hard to say for sure. Your mileage may vary.

**Q: Why are these listed as "fender ukulele strings-soprano" when the pictures of the packages and the description says they're "electric guitar strings"?**
A: I've purchased 3 sets of these strings. They are not ukulele strings. Most ukulele strings I've seen, at least recently, were nylon.

**Q: Is the g string plain or wound?**
A: Plain.... it would specify on the box if it was wound
