So every note you play resonates with clarity and precision to match your passion.

Review: Excellent Strings for my Electric Guitar. - First time using this brand. I love these strings and will purchase them again the next time I need new strings. They sound great and are rust resistant so they will last longer.
Review: Best ever for me - Maybe it’s because I went from 10 to 9 but these strings play and sound great on my Strat. Better than any ive used before. Not sure how well they will hold up but for now theyre awesome and a bigger upgrade than I thought theyd be. Keep in mind when you switch to lighter strings you aren't going to get the same single string power because it's a little less mass, less sustain. But the tradeoff for me is worth it, an overall better sound and playability.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many weeks is the life about these ones? is this better d addario nyxl? i´m use ernie ball super slinky right now... worth the change?**
A: About 3 months, is the same quality as nyxl, worth the change

**Q: Excuse me, these are with 011 gauge, right?**
A: That is correct. These go from .011 to .049. Best, -Brian

**Q: what size strings would you guys recommend for a beginner that has no experience whatsoever with any kind of instrument Any answer I will appreciate**
A: The smaller the gauge, the thinner the strings are. Usually, people refer to them as "9s, 10s, 11s and sometimes 12s." That refers to the high E string (the smallest one) at 0.009mm thick, 0.10mm thick, 0.11mm etc... If you're a beginner, 9s will be the easiest to play, but you may be better off using 10s right from the start so you can build up some strength. But you don't want playing to be uncomfortable. To be honest, the best way to learn and to gain finger strength would be by playing acoustic guitar

**Q: Would the heavy ones work good on a hollow body guitar?**
A: Yah, they should. Are you upping or changing gauge? If so the heavier gauge might throw off your guitar set up. I use the 11's or 12's in standard on everything from my tele to my acoustic, so they should sound and work well. Just make sure you're set up to handle whatever gauge you throw at it.
