  • Great strings for Drop D!

    I use these strings on my Rogue Rocketeer guitar and these are incredible for Drop D tuning! There's enough tightness with the .60 gauge string and all the other strings are comfortable with the A D G B e tuning. Intonation isn't exactly on point with the thickest string, BUT I play mostly rhythm, so the strings are great for that!

  • They sound horrible

    Threw these on my guitar, and they immediately sounded horrible. Looked at reviews and these "drop c" strings are best for drop a and b, lowered and still sound like I'm smacking a bees nest.

  • Pretty good.

    I like these strings a lot but because of the bigger gauge I had to find a different nut because it wouldn't sit down into the crevice. This isn't a big deal if you plan on keeping it downtuned, but if you want to switch back to standard it could cause some issues. Still a good set of strings.

    These strings are perfect in every single imaginable way. .12-.60 are perfect gauges for pretty much all tunings in my experience. The only thing I don't like is the packaging. They aren't individually packaged like Ernie Balls, which makes them really awkward to take out. I can't imagine taking out only one string because it unwinds the rest.

  • Whats there to review... Fat and bright!!!
