JustStrings.com Bulk Strings - Plain Steel .018, Bulk Pack of 12, 018P5edwininhoustonNovember 3, 2009Outstanding!!! I play and teach a lot of Chet Atkins and Merle Travis tunes. I formerly used a .010 to .046 set, but was not happy. I needed the top half of an 011 to 049 set, and the bottom half of an 010 to 046 set. That way, I get better harmonics, and better tonal separation between the melody notes on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd strings, and the bass notes on the 4th, 5th, and 6th strings. I can get my "ideal set" now, without breaking the bank. Thanks, guys.
JustStrings.com Bulk Strings - Plain Steel .018, Bulk Pack of 12, 018P5TravisOctober 2, 2009For electric guitar strings, I am extremely picky, I consider strings to be completely dead after two days of playing them. Strings like the elixirs that everyone is raving I think kill the tone of a good guitar, but that's just me... Anyway, the JS strings are great, of professional quality just as I expected them to be (I know they are actually of a name brand). They let me change strings as often as I like to without leaving me broke. Another thing is that I prefer an unorthodox set (11 14 18 32 42 56), which is as easy as anything else with the bulk strings. Only gripe is the cumbersome packaging, but I knew about that going in, and the inconvenience is more than offset by the savings. Thanks, Travis.
