Lovely strings. I only learnt of their existence recently when I found a stray reference online that my guitar (Godin Acousticaster) ships with these strings. I bought the guitar in the 1990s, having loved the sound when I tried it out in the shop, but the various different strings I had used on it subsequently tended to sound jangly and thin. I recently purchased a good-quality acoustic guitar and the all too obvious disparity between the new guitar's pleasant tone and that of the Godin (which I had recently strung with D'Addario Regular Lights - 0.10 top string) prompted me to think again about finding better strings for the Godin.My string quest finally led me to D'Addario Jazz Lights.

After much experimentation with lots of different manufacturers I can say without any reservation that if you play in low tuning you need to choose D'Addario. Bright, crisp, full of tone, and hard wearing. I have these strings on my Jackson Flying V and Ltd 6 string tuned to Drop A# and C standard respectively and the tone and longevity of these strings is unmatched.Caution though, if you want to put these babies on a guitar with a floating bridge (i.e. Floyd Rose) you are going to have to add additional springs to your tremolo in order to balance the tension because there is a lot of tension! Adding additional strings is simplicity itself, remove the back cover,

Having purchased a really beautiful old Hohner guitar recently - which came minus strings and a damaged neck.......after repairing the neck and giving the guitar and a good clean and polish, I decided to invest in this set of "Nashville tuning" strings for a different, lighter sound.(Nashville tuning - using a 6 string guitar - is achieved by using the top - thinnest- 6 strings from a 12 string guitar set-up).Although I'm pleased with the resulting sound, I will add a word of caution... that is the original high "G" string (actually a 9 thou diameter which could be construed a extra light "E" string) snapped between F# and G using standard tuning due to the very high tension limit imposed on this string.

I bought these strings to enhance the sound of my 6 string esp guitar. I have just started a new band which use the tuning of drop B. I previously used strings of a gauge that was a lot less than these bad boys but for the scale length of my guitar (24.5) they just would not hold the tuning and i had all sorts of intonation problems. I cannot recommend these strings enough for anyone who is playing in tunings that are lower than drop D. The build quality is really nice, easily as good as the big names such as Earnie Ball and they have helped me to intonate my guitar efficiently and solved my guitar going out of tune in those lowly tuned situations! 5 stars!

These strings add a whole new option if you have a little-used spare electric guitar. They comprise just the high strings from a 12 string set: the high E and B are like any usual 6 string set, but the low E, A, D and G all tune an octave higher. In itself it's a lovely jangly chord sound, especially with single-coil pickups. Playing chords against a second regular-tuned guitar, the sound is gorgeous - the two guitars kind of adding up to a 12 string guitar with four hands playing it. That's not just a good option for performance but also for lush overdubs.I've bought effect pedals that were less inspiring or entertaining than a set of these strings!

I used to use only Dean Markley - Blue Steel and Helix, but the gauges were not heavy enough, I used this set to put on my 7 string S7420 dropping the last string off so 65 through to 11 using D rather than Standard E with the top being a A rather than B same as Korn use, after altering the floating trem which took around 5 - 10 mins it was perfect the sound was big and really as I wanted it, I have since gone to using 60 - 10 Dunlop Heavy cores, but that is as I am tuning E with a top B now, as soon as we change back to using D with top A I will be getting an other set of these.

I used to be a fan of Ernie Ball's strings until I purchased my 7 string guitar and found out that Ernie Ball's 7 string sets aren't as good. So I decided to look into D'Addario's selection and found the perfect gauge for my Ab tuning. After reading several reviews I decided to purchase them and they are far superior to any strings I've ever owned. I have now had them on my Schecter Omen Extreme 7 for about 6 months and they're still in excellent condition! Would highly recommend these to any 7 string players looking for some long-lasting, quality strings.

I bought these for tuning my 7 string down to A standard, as I like heavy strings with a lot of tension... well I think I found my limit. I would not recommend these for ADGCFAD tuning on a 26" scale length unless you are prepared for absurd tension.That said they sound great despite being hard to play and I am sure they play well when tuned to F# on an 8 string. I think I will be going back to a 10-62 set when I get sick of these. If only there were as much choice for 7 string sets as there are for 6 and 8 string.

Although strings are a matter of personal and preference due to the feel and tone that that may produce, for me, these were exceptional. Bright and tight tones that last a long time with proper stretching wen applied. Other brands' may stay 'like new' for about a week and a half; these lasted about 3 for me. Would most definitely recommend them to anyone if they want strings good for most, if not all, uses.

As an experiment I have strung one of my Telecasters with these strings in an attempt to get that 12 string "jangle"You certainly get a nice sound, very similar to a 12 string.Its nice to have a different sounding guitar in the rack.I will keep saving up for a Rickenbacker!

These strings are the best set I've got for my 7 string. They are smooth they feel good and they last for a good length of time as well. Not found any benefit tree but then I've not needed to try any other set because these are good as they are.Would recommend to anyone.

placed on a standard neck 'strat' to downtune - lovely rich tone - especially nice for milder distortion-crunch - but make sure the fullness of tone is what you want in a mix - intonation adjustment wouldn't cope with B without shortening the spring in the adjuster

If, like me, you feel 10's are just a bit hard on the fingers, and 9's are too light-feeling & thin-sounding, then give 9.5 a go.I absolutely love 9.5, feels PERFECT for me, and i expect i'll only ever use 9.5 from now on. Feels and sounds awesome!

I am a recent convert to this gauge and now find all the others to be too thin or thick for me. I don't bend strings much now, but can't really get on with 10's. Superb strings. I wish every guitar shop stocked them.

Bought these for my 7 string guitar and discarded the .9 string. The only gripe I have is all the strings are loose in the package. But, there is a key on the side of the packet matching colour and string gauge.
