Great Value, Good for Drop Tuning

Ewl1 19.03.2017

I bought these for my lowered tuned Les Paul, using it in C-tuning and I must say it's perfect! Note: string height, intonation, truss rod adjustment and a little nut filing may be needed...

Pros:
The strings are a great combination between affordability and durability - at this price you can't complain. They sound great, play great and feel great.

Cons:
Compared to more expensive alternatives these will, perhaps not, last as long. But if you're anything like me and need to clean the fingerboard quite often this is hardly a problem. When they go dead it's time to clean the guitar anyway...

Conclusion:
If you use this with a guitar that has a "stop tail" tail piece you can adjust string tension according to taste by adjusting the angle between the bridge and the tail piece. To have a removable nut is preferable, I keep a set of different nuts adapted for different string gauges, and is what I would recommend. It helps with tuning stability.

I've been using GHS strings for all my different guitars for more than 10 years and I probably continue to do so for another 10...

The ideal gauge for me, great quality

I'd been using D'Addario EXL115 11-49 for a long time. Last year they started coiling the strings in pairs, which makes changing strings a bit more annoying, especially if you're trying to do it on stage!

This prompted me to look around for alternatives. The GHS Medium (11-50) set is a close match but has slightly lighter A and D strings than the EXL115s which I think is why I first tried the GB-Low instead.

Anyway, these are more first choice set now. I do several songs in drop-D which really benefits from the .53 on the bottom, the A and D strings are heavier too which is great for tight rhythm. Another plus - the strings are still coiled individually in paper envelopes! Buying bulk price from Thomann they're no more expensive either.

Not impressed.

I nought them because a former co-guitarist used them. Anyway, I wasn't impressed by the price/durability/sound quality. Needless to say, I've not bought them again since.

Brilliant sound

Brilliant sound , but they don't last long.If you can afford to change strings very often, it'a a very good choise.
