"Good Job Gibson!"
I have finally found strings I can live with and be totally satisfied night after night of playing. Good job Gibson!
Sound
Big, full and very articulate, even sound all the way across all six strings. Very punch and crisp sounding. This is the BEST string I have ever put on my Telecaster American Standard. These sound far better than anything I've tried and played on my Telecaster in 19 years. I am totally sold on these strings. I used to run Fenders on this guitar until D'addario began making Fender strings!I won't ever have any D'addario or anything else but these Gibson Brite Wires 10's on my guitar so long as they keep making them this way.

Sound
These are without doubt the best electric guitar strings I have used in more than 40 years of playing. Even on my Epi Les Paul and SG, they put out a clear, strong tone, and the more you push the gain the clarity remains almost intact and definitely soaring. Gibson has outdone itself with these strings and I think that, regardless the brand or type guitar you play, it will instantly crank out the most satisfying tonal quality available at any price.
So do yourself and your guitar a favor: Buy a set of Gibson Brite Wires and I promise you that you'll notice the difference right from the first pluck of the strings. You just can't beat quality, and that should be Gibson's middle name.

"Good sound, poor longevity."

Bought these because they were just that little bit cheaper than what i had been playing, figured for a dollar less how bad could they be? I mean heck, it's Gibson! Strung them up the day they arrived, the strings do have a nice sound and settled pretty quickly after some normal stretching. One week of moderate practicing (3-4 hours a day) later i've just popped the high e string while bending it one whole step. After a month or so of playing this wouldn't surprise me, i tend to get 6 to 8 weeks out of a set of strings, I would like to think maybe k, but either way, i will be steering clear of them in the future. Did not attempt getting in contact with customer service. zZounds is fantastic though,my last few purchases have been from them and their service is top notch IMO.
