Daddario NYXL09564SB

I got this set for my Schecter Hellraiser PT-7 which has a 26.5-inch scale. I think this may be an ideal set of string for this scale at standard tuning. I also really like how it sounds, pretty bright and dynamic. It holds these characteristics for some time. However, I am not able to comprehend the pricing.

According to the product description, this has been made for Strandberg guitars specifically, however, I think it's way too expensive still. I think it should be around the 10-12€ range. At the end of the day, you shouldn't expect a life span of coated strings. So you would have to change them often if you want that snappy, bright attack characteristics.

Almost 19€ for this? That's why I am giving 4 stars. On the other hand, it's still the best set for my guitar at standard tuning. So I sometimes buy this along with other strings. One last note about the low E string. I think it sounds a bit lose on open low E, so don't think you can down tune to anything, even flat...I think low E should be a bit thicker in gauge, but this is how they had designed it in the first place.
