Review: Good on Strat’ - Have been using these on an Ash body Strat for almost ever since buying it. It came with D’Addarios on it, (coloured ball ends), when they wore out I used the Fender 250’s that came as spares in the case, but these didn’t last as long. Having used Elixir’s on several of my guitars for years, I went for those, but they were so dull they were off in 2 or 3 days. Ordered these coated D’Addario’s, (as I prefer coated strings for my skin & longevity of string life), & I was back to how it sounded from the Fender dealer, very easy to play, very expressive articulation & rock steady tuning stability with the trem’ setting. Best strings for a bright sounding Ash Strat, probably for most Strat’s. Class strings!!
Review: Great tone and smooth feel! - Great strings with bright tones First time I’ve used this set but will use again and again!
