"Don't bother."

Overall: 2.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
Ugh. Tinny, dull, mellow, and weak.
Features
The only real feature is the bullet end, which has shifted in place and caused my strings to suddenly loosen. Awful.
Ease of Use
Having to fix the bullet end constantly is annoying.
Quality
They are made as Fender would like. Decent quality. Again, just poor sound.
Value
Go get DR's instead

"Dull, mellow strings."

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I'm switching these out immediately for some DR Hi-Beam Lights. I'll try some GHS Boomers too, but I really liked DR Tite-Fits.
Sound
These strings give a dull, somewhat muddy sound. If you want that mellow acoustic sound coming out of a good amp (say, a BitMo Trio'd Valve Junior on the right settings), these will do it; but for anything else I can't stand 'em. Actually, a set of DR Tite-fits produced a better acoustic model, and really kicks the overdrive sound nicely.
Features
They're strings. The bullets suck though.
Ease of Use
They go on, but that bullet shape at the bottom may cause minor issues. My bullets point in various directions and can shift a little, unlike normal ball-end strings when set properly.
Quality
Poor sound quality, and poorly designed bullet-ends.
Value
Don't waste the money, buy some DRs or something else you like. Unless you want a really mellow sound anyway.

"Slide and glide on chrome!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Absolutely worth it's price, I consider these strings the top of the market.
Sound
Bright
Features
My strings came preloaded from the factory on my American Deluxe Stratocaster, so nothing else came with the strings.
Ease of Use
Before I always used Ernie Ball strings, but now that I have touched these super bullet strings, I'm in heaven. The strings feel as if they have been polished and waxed already. Very comfortable and sliding is as easy as breathing.
Quality
The strings look awesome!! Shiny chrome color on even the low strings at 4,5 and 6! Playability is top notch.
Value
Strings are worth as much as Ernie Ball, yet give way more for your buck in sound and looks.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed help with them, but if you are switching gauges, adjusting the truss rod and bridge sound troublesome.
The Wow Factor
I haven't seen better looking strings in all 7 and a half years of my time as a skilled guitarist. They are shiny chrome looking, much better than the gray steel look of other brands.

Musical Style:

Heavy Alternative to pop rock.
