Best value for money, very durable and easy to tune. Review: My assumptions were all so wrong! - Legit, surprised by the quality sound as I'd always assumed fender strings would be some sort of novelty mediocre sideline taking advantage of their established and deserved rep in the instrument and amp fields. I take it back! For the price, i think they sound clearer than and last longer than ernie balls and other established string manufactures at around that price point. Feel enough ′texture′ on my fingers to not be alippy but smooth enough to retain a certain tactile response if that makes sense. Stand up well during long and thorough practice sessions which will translate well as affordable yet consistent option for regular giggers too. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.
