Jackson Soloist Strings, Light .009-.042

These light strings work great. I'm getting old and got tired of pain in my fingers and wow these really helped. Plus when doing solo"s wow you really get vibrato and twang into the strings. Feels like I instantly played better...and the sound is way better than I was expecting.

Better than I expected

They sound good but the life span seems a bit short . But then again I live in Florida so maybe the humidity has a hand in that equation . They're not elixirs but pretty good especially at the price point.

These strings sound fine and the maker does a good job reducing packaging waste by putting them all in one sealed plastic bag inside a pasteboard packet. These bags are supposed to prevent tarnishing of the strings. The drawback of not having them in individual bags or sold with beads on the strings is it can be a little difficult to tell which string goes where. With a little discernment however this is no big deal. I'm in the habit of using cheaper strings than these because I think they sound fine but these are not too expensive.

These are fairly standard light gauge strings. I must admit, I have a really hard time “hearing” the difference between this or that set/brand of light gauge strings. These sound and feel like any other new set of light gauge strings to me.Unfortunately, as others have noted, they are all packed in one bag. The strings are sort-of color coded, in which each size alternates between silver and gold ball ends. So, you still have to judge the thickness of each string to get in the right ballpark. I’d prefer individually wrapped strings, and more fully color coded ball ends, but these are fine.For a set of 6 strings, they’re averagely priced, I think. However, you may notice that this vendor (Jackson) also sells 7- and 8-string sets for about the same price (all around $10 to $14, depending on gauge). This is worth noting, since they don’t charge much (or any) of a premium for those less common sets.Final rating: 5 stars. I’d personally prefer individually wrapped and color-coded strings, but really, that’s not worth subtracting any stars.

They hold tension well and make for a nice set of cheap strings.

These strings feel good, they're functional and fit my brother's Fender Kurt Cobane Limited, the iconic teal colored guitar. They stringed easy and sound great, which is all I need my guitar strings to do.I especially like them because they're a much better bargain than EarnieBall strings. That's helpful particularly in this trainwreck led economic climate we're being subjected to. 5 stars from me and my recommendation. Thanks for taking some of your time with my thoughts, I hope they're helpful.Take care!

These guitar strings meet my expectations, but I agree with other reviewers who complained about the lack of labeling each string. I usually use GHS Guitar Boomers, which have each string individually sealed and labeled... and they are less expensive than these, typically. If these were priced less than the GHS strings I typically use, I would give them 5 stars, but I had to dock a star for being less convenient and more expensive.

Perfect for my Jackson 7 string and holds up pretty well even for lower tunings like g# standard (I like light tension). Good price/quality

This set needs to start from .13/.17 instead of .12/.16. Tension is not balanced neither for detuned standard tunings nor for drop tunings and is much lighter on high strings
