Review: Absolutely worth the extra money - I tend to go through strings fairly quickly - less so from breakage but more because they wear out and get corroded/rusty. Playing for a couple of hours most days I'd usually go through a set of strings in around 2-3 weeks before they feel bad enough for me to change them. Decided to give coated strings a go and my first set lasted 2 months before one broke - even at the 2 month mark they still felt fine and I saw no need to change them. Grabbed another set and they are still on my guitar 9 months later. No breakage, hardly any buildup on the strings, no rust/corrosion - they don't sound dead, still have great tuning stability on my Telecaster. The coating doesn't feel sticky at all to me like some suggest, however it is obviously a different texture to regular uncoated strings which takes a little bit of getting used to. However after the initial adjustment period they feel absolutely excellent to play. Some people say they sound less bright overall than uncoated strings however I don't really have that issue - to me they sound about the same as uncoated strings after you've used them for 5 or 6 hours, however they sound like that forever - its worth the tradeoff to me. I suspect the brightness may be more of an issue with heavier gauges however the 9-42 set sound great. Overall these are excellent strings and are definitely worth the extra money - I won't be going back to buying uncoated strings any time soon as these also work out much cheaper for me.
Review: Delicious - These are really nice strings. I’ve put them on a Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HH and the first thing I noticed was how great they feel. Especially when compared to whatever cheap, nasty cheese wires were on the guitar when I got it. Really smooth and nice to play. Sound wise, when playing clean they’re nice and bright without being too jangly, if you know what I mean. The low notes have a nice round tone and the highs are really tasty. With distortion, they sounded even better and had to go and change my pants shortly after. I don’t think they’re as bendable as EB Super Slinky’s, however don’t let that be a put off, it’s probably not by very much, you just need to use a little more strength when bending, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I am currently having issues with tuning stability, but hoping that’s just down to the new guitar settling in and possibly needing some adjustment. Time will tell, but very impressed so far.
