Not sure about these

Erik 77 23.10.2017

Bought these because of the Brian May endorsement, but I must say that I am somewhat disappointed. The sound is different from regular strings to be sure, and I liked the sound of these when they were new.

But they wore out very quickly, already after some weeks the gold had worn off in places where I play alot, exposing the nickel (?) base. At about the same rate the sound got duller and duller, faster than a nickel string wears I would say, so after a month it was definitely time to change them. Most unpleasantly my fingers started smelling of metal quite strongly after playing the worn out strings, something which I haven't experienced with other strings.

I will not go for these again.

Very good on a Gretsch

NRGreer 31.05.2019

Great on a Gretsch, not sure I would want them on any other guitars.

Report

Some of the best strings available.

Al S. 20.05.2014

They don't feel like any other string and seem to have a tension of their own. I have always found them extremely comfortable and very reliable, with a great, bright sound and good calibration - as well lasting longer than most.

Report

Pricey, but very long lasting

alleytom 01.04.2026

I have issues with nickel-plated strings. For some reasons, my fingers corrode them, really badly even after a couple of hours of usage. Then I tried Optima 2028RL (but other gauges are just as good), and not only do they stay clean, they consistently sound good. I only change them when the golden surface wears out. They cost more, but lasting much longer, they save me money on the long run.
