Very playable

busy_b 06.02.2020

I was just curious for the feel of another version of light top/heavy bottom set and gave it a try. Quite a change after Zakk Wilde boomers, ha, ha. YJM are very playable and allowed me different style of playing, light pressure, easy licks. They were keeping their sound for two years of not frequent playing, GHS Fast Fret was sufficient to revive them to life every session.
CONS. 008 string has pulled itself out of the ball end. As I had no replacement at hand, I used crude repair: wound down the string, put on a ball on a low end, made a knot on string with thin pliers (don't pull too tight not to broke the string), then wound up the string again. It needs some force-bending of the string to properly set the knot, yet it will hold then. Cut the string short and cover the sharp end not to get sting with it.

Good, but with some reservation

Cassablanca 11.08.2021

Comfortable playing blues with ST and T style guitars playing lots of bends, especially if you don't have lots of strength in your left-hand fingers.

Right away the G string sounded dull and after a fortnight the string was totally out of tune, so I had to change the string already.

I am not really convinced of the quality of these strings but I will try out a few more sets of these strings.

To be continued..

Nice packaging but I was maybe a little unlucky with those as one of the strings from the first set I tried snapped right where the string meets the bullet. Quite annoying. Aside from this little accident, the set is quite extreme in terms of gauge but it's worth a try if you are a YJM fan.

Excellent

Anonymous 08.05.2015

These strings are very good and comfortable to play with and they last a little longer than most strings I seem to buy, definitely the type of strings for someone who pulls of big bends and loves to shred also really good for drop d due to the thicker bass string.

Great sound, but be aware....

ibanezman98 27.05.2017

I bought more than 10 sets, and in one set, the 5th A string was wounded only first 26cm or so....
If you order more packs, make sure you inspect if all the strings are in order.

SOUND is 5 stars for me. Set feels more like 9-49 under my hands, but it is perfectly balanced for my taste.

SOichiro 06.11.2017

used it with my strat, feels very nice for the fingers, very durable (despite strat tech issues), despite using tremolo too much. For the sound I didn't find any difference with other fender strings

Love them

yeite 29.12.2018

Love these strings. I love the very thin first 3 strings for soloing and string control as well as the lower 3 being thicker for making heavy power chords. Malmsteen knows what he's up to!

Good set

Vigilius 08.11.2021

A good set of strings to have powerful bass and soft acute to be able to have precise bending and the characteristic vibrato of the Swedish hero!

Excellent very light strings

ORRIOL 24.12.2019

If you like light strings, you're gonna love these ones. They are not overly bright, they sound big and they bend soooo easily...that's always a nice bonus :) . Also, the price is good too, so I honestly don't see any cons.
