Gibson Vintage Reissue Electric Guitar Strings Reviews

26 People rated this product :
           9 out of 10

"WOW!!!"
Feature:
They are pure nickel wound around a hex shaped core of quality Swedish steel.

Quality:
Top quality.

Value:
Slightly more expensive than an 'average' set of strings, and worth every penny of that extra.

Sound:
These are quite simply the best electric guitar strings around. For classic rock, they give a tone which is just unbeatable in my opinion. They have a truly wonderful vintage vibe to them, that makes your guitar sound like a professional instrument. I have tried all the major brands (Ernie Ball, GHS, D'addario, etc etc) and the conclusion I have come to is that these have by far the superior tone.

Ease of Use:
These strings feel fantastic to play. They have a wonderful smooth silky feel, and are very easy to bend. I have been using them for a year now, and have never yet broken a single string. I play classic rock, with quite a bit of bending of notes, so I don't treat them softly either.

Support:
Not needed

Overall:
I will never use anything else, I have found 'my' strings. If you don't use these strings you are missing out big time.

"Gibson Vintage Reissue"
Feature:
Can't ask for anymore

Quality:
Well they come vacuum sealed so thats awesome you don't have to immediately put them on for fear of corrosion, you can let em sit somewhere in your room for months. It bugs me that the sound quality starts to die within a few weeks of plying them, i've played some strings that last a year, but these only lasted 2 months, but while they're on theyre incredible, the best sound i've ever heard out of my guitar. They also start breaking often after that 2 month point. I recommend once you have one break, just change all the strings to avoid hassle

Value:
Its a tad expensive as far as guitar strings go, and the fact that they wear quicker is a downer, but the sound quality is unmatched, so as long as you have the money to replace them every so often i'd recommend these

Desirability:
It sounds great and they look so shiny when you put them on. They just look like they sound good if that makes any sense

Sound:
It's incredible, I've used so many different strings, Ernie Ball, D'Addario, Dean Markley, Rotosound, and Dunlop strings. But when I slapped these on (.10s) i got unbelievable response and crunch, they sound great, the sound thick and warm when you're playing clean, and sound great when you're playing in distortion. I've put these on all my guitars and it sounds best through my ESP EXP with EMG-60 and EMG-81, but all of em it sounds great from a custom strat, to a les paul and several other guitars

Ease of Use:
You just put em on and play. With other strings I've used on tremolo guitars you need to constantly work at them for a few days, but the gibsons went straight on and stayed in tune, I barely had to break them in and I've never had much trouble with them

Support:
Never had to call gibson, but I've called them for other products and they were extremely helpful and easy to work with

Overall:
Extremely satisfying, go ahead and buy them and see for yourself
