I've tried many different types and gauges of strings over the last 30 years and have got used to 2 or three brands and gauges. I had neve given stainless steel strings a chance until 2 months ago.. I restrung my 94' photo finish Strat with a set of these strings and what a great result... they get the guitar to come to life with their fabulous tone and playability.. I will be restringing a few other guitars with a set of these strings..
Great to have these strings .Steel gives a better sound than nickel. and these are very good quality. Hybrid mix is tonally nice and better for playability in my opinion.
First time I have used stainless steel strings. Seem to have a slightly different tone. Still getting used to them. Should last longer than plated strings.
