Amazing.
Through the last 30 years I?ve tried all kinds of strings. Now I was looking for the perfect strings on my Gibson SJ-200. Online I read that the aluminium bronze alloy is more than a gimmick, so I tried these.
The strings are not as shiny as ?normal? strings. They have a faded, worn look. The first time playing them they feel like that too. A bit stiff, used, without live. But that is not what you hear.
The stiffnes in playing translate in almost indefinite dynamics. Soft fingerpicking gives you a soft mellow tone. Heavy ?chord bashing? or bluegrass licks give you a loud mellow tone. No tune-bending or rattling or other noises. In combination with the SJ-200 it?s like playing without limits.
Soft, loud, fingerpicking, plectrum, these strings can endure much more than I?m used to. These strings you can rely on. They just do what you tell them to, nothing more. That?s the stiffnes you will first experience and value later on.
I?m a fan.
