Review: Very good value for money - Excellent strings as always. Reliable. Arrived quickly.
Review: Super nice strings - I use these strings on a 28" baritone. I was hesitant to buy them as some people say they get scarily tight for tunings such as B standard, but I had no issues, they were tight for these tunings but haven't had one snap and they're still very nice to play. I had a few issues getting them through my machine head due to the gauge of the lowest string, but this is more an issue with my own guitar. They sound great especially with distortion, they're my personal choice for gigs and given the price I'm much less fussed about regularly changing them to keep up that fresh string sound.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use these on a non baritone guitar but tuned to drop B/A**
A: Hi, I used them on a standard scale telecaster, they're heavier gauge than the other brands, I tuned down to A and B, twangy but does the job, its cheaper than buying a baritone neck or guitar, you will have to file the nut to get the strings to sit properly though, it's a while since I had them though, hope this is helpful in some way..., 👍

**Q: How long are these?
I am hoping to use them on a bass vi and tune it b-b**
A: Long enough to fit on my Jazzmaster baritone (30”) should be fine for your bass vi

**Q: These were not long enough for my Gretsch Bari with Bigsby trem, can you recommend what strings would suit?**
A: Just search for 'long scale' strings? If they don't actually state the length of the strings, these should be enough for 99.9% of instruments.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drop A / baritone
*by L***S on 22 December 2025*

I took a bit of a gamble on these, having never owned a baritone guitar before or tuned this low... But luckily I got perfect intonation (27" scale tuned to drop A), and the tension is lovely. Nice clarity. 💀 chug chug chug chug chug...... 😲 Sounds beefy🔥
