The best pair of strings I've ever played on. Honestly.
This review is for the "D'Addario NYXL1046 Nickel Plated Electric Guitar Strings, Light"
I saw a YouTuber by the name of Rob Chapman play on these and he couldn't give them enough praise so I thought why not, I'd try them too.
Well I certainly made the right choice.
I'll start off with a pro con list for quick and easy reading, and then get more in depth.
Pros:
-Some how stay in tune much longer than I'm used to even after playing for long periods of time
-Stay in tune better and longer after you've just strung your guitar, much faster to keep the tuning
-Sound exactly how they are described to sound, you can really tell the difference
-Very smooth and easy to play, it just feels right on your fingers
Cons:
-Packaging of mine had fingerprints on it
Okay so my opinion on these strings.
These strings play very well, sound amazing, aren't too expensive, and last very long.
What isn't there to like?
The strings come all wound up in a circle in the package.
Once you open the little black package that they are in(which feels nice under your fingers by the way) there is a sealed bag inside, which has your strings in it.
One thing about the package, mine came with finger prints all over it and I've seen the packaging before and it doesn't usually have that, but either way, that was the only thing I could think of that could be a bad thing to some people. I'm my opinion that doesn't warrant taking away any stars though.
The package has instructions when you flip the front up on how to tell the strings apart(by their colour.)
They are just as easy as any pair of strings to put on. Once they are on they sound amazing and to me at least, are really easy to play.
When playing in the strings (pulling on the strings a little bit so they don't slip out of tune, and fiddling around a bit with the strings) after you've just strung they stop slipping much faster than any strings I've used.
After that, they just last super long. I should have had to buy more. If you take care of them they last longer than you probably should be playing them, with no breaks at all.
If you honestly still don't know if you should get them yet, they have a free sticker in the package. Cmon, who doesn't like free stuff?!
No but really, you should just try them for yourself.
That's what I did and I didn't regret it one bit.
This has been my honest and unbiased review.
