Definitely better than you'd think

hotgstrings 26.02.2023

Might not be the best quality strings out there but definitely better than no name OEM strings with a random brand logo on them. I've had no issues with setting up them. About the sound, I feel like it's a bit brighter than I'd like it to be, hence the branding says "western". Nothing really disturbing but if you have a smaller body guitar, combination with these strings might upset you unless you're after a brighter tone. Anyway, it's safely usable especially on cheaper guitars for home sessions. I'd go higher quality for the gigs though.

Sound good to me

howardjworf@aol.com 27.12.2022

I restrung my Takamine with these as the factory strings sounded cheap to me (how to describe that? Thinner less rich tone than I had hoped for). These made the guitar sound a lot better IMO (maybe the factory strings had been put on a long time before I received it and had gone stale?)
The conclusion is that I am happy with these strings. They have been on the guitar now for a couple of months, many rehearsals and a few gigs and still sound OK, although I will change them soon.

string cut less than a month

Alekos 14.01.2023

The 3rd G string was cut in less than a month. And it's a really hard set.

Muss man mal ausprobieren!

Gero G. 06.12.2021

Die Pappschachtel lässt auf einen neuen, ernst zu nehmenden Mitspieler im Viertel schließen. Sollten unsere Lieblingsfranken da mit anderen Franken gemeinsame Sache machen? Was wäre das für ein Traum! Für das Geld? Die nehmen wir mal mit ... und dann das chinesische Grauen: Jede Saite einzeln in Kunststoffbeutelchen eingeschweißt! Das Zeug, das sich so statisch auflädt, dass man es nicht mal ohne Probleme in den Mülleimer bekommt (bleibt an den Fingern ...). Das kennt man von Harley Bentons billigsten. Find ich nicht mehr zeitgemäß diese Folienschlacht! Also erst mal durchatmen. "Gib ihnen eine Chance!" Na gut, drauf auf die J45. Der Puls geht runter. Da ist etwas besonderes im Klang, definitiv nicht schlecht. Brillanz ist da und doch irgendwie trocken, ich musste an Talkum denken :-) Nicht unangenehm, wurde immer besser. Verdrängt erstmal nicht meine Pyramid-Saiten, aber sie bleiben drauf! Testet sie selbst, für das Geld ist nicht viel hin. Am Ende ist das Geschmackssache. Aber Schrott ist das definitiv nicht!
