fender strings
Fitted these Fender strings yesterday & done a couple of hours guitar prep for next gig Wednesday.
They sound nice, they hold the tuning well, they also did not need long to settle down to tuning, usually 4 or 5 re'tunes, but these needed only 2 & seem to be stable now.
I did a full afternoon gig, through my song list a few times (as different audience came and went) with these strings, No string breakages, only a couple of guitar re'tunes & still sounding bright for next gig.
My guitar is mic'ed (AKG 1000) and a Baggs magnetic p'up mixed together into my Marshall acoustic solo 100, ideal for outdoor gigs, strings must be pure steel (some strings are not) for the Baggs magnetic p'up to sound good, so these strings have passed the test for me & the price is very good compared to similar coated strings.
I have been paying 4 times more for coated strings, these are the answer to my string budget.

Solid Performance
I tried these strings for unplugged gigs and was not dissappointed.They have a bright tone and a decent bass end too. A hardwearing and long life product with colour coded nuts for easy string identification.Good value and solid performance all round.

Lovely Strings
I have found a great difference between these strings and the various others I have had on my acoustic. First they have lasted much longer than any other. I don't play the acoustic as much as my bass, so I prefer to get as long out of them as possible. However when I do play it, I dislike a really dead sound, which I know is inevitable after time. However, with these strings I have definitely got a lot more use out of them.
They have a really nice bright tone which lasts much longer than others I have owned. I would definitely recommend them if you're looking to get a bit more longevity out of your strings.
