Great midrange for longer scale instruments

JoCa 16.06.2014

After some testing of different strings I arrived at these, the signature strings of my number one hero, mr Eric Johnson. This is Eric's personal choice mainly for Fender guitars and others w. a scale length of 25.5" or so. This is a special gauge of the standard GHS Nickel Rockers string, that is heavier in the bottom: the lower E is a full .050 compared to .046 with the regular set.

I can see why Eric is absolutely nuts about them: they have good midrange without lacking in lows and highs. Now highs can make your distorted tones sound harsh and lows can make your tone sound muddy and flubby and this string cleverly steers away from any of these unwanted traits. And they sound do good through out the entire range under any conditions, really: highs are present but not piercing and lows are extended and tight.

Excellent sound, tougher playbility

Home Rocker 10.03.2021

I love the sound of these. Better than anything else I have tried. But playability is an issue as it is harder to bend or do vibratos. Extra Tension and thicker bottom 3 strings are the reason for this. Not your regular 10 gauge strings. If you have strong fingers try them 1000%!

Great strings but for only a short time...

Young-Bin 04.02.2016

I am a huge fan of Eric Johnson and really love the sound of pure nickel strings which has a warm vintage tone that he also likes.

These strings are very good with good feel and tone! BUT! that only lasts for about 2 weeks in my highly sweaty and corrosive hands. Perhaps it may be different for others with less corrosive hands.

So i give this a total of 4/5 as the sound is a 5/5.
I also love how the 4th to 6th strings are a bit heavier than the standards.

It's actually kind of hard to find these strings and I always wanted to try it once. I give my thanks to Thomann for giving me that chance :)

Great strings!

Costa 20.11.2017

Bought this set to tame the high end on my strat and bring a more vintage quality to it. It definitely did the job.

Pros:
-Great sound and feel. They can do wonders on a Strat.

Cons:
-Bending becomes a bit trickier if you're used to nickel wounds.
-Depending on the instrument they could potentially muddy up your sound.
