A Classic That Works on (Almost) Every Guitar

You can't go wrong with Slinky strings: they offer a clear attack, bright highs, and consistent response across the entire fretboard. The Regular Slinky are the safe choice if you're unsure (comfort, versatility, rock/pop/blues). The Skinny Top Heavy Bottom maintain smooth highs for bends while adding tighter, more powerful lows, perfect for riffs and lower tunings.

Antony F.27/09/2011

As said in the previous comments, perfect for drop D (System Of A Down, among others): they hold the tuning superbly well, and are not soft during the game, due to the higher pull than the classic Slinky.

Recommended for Metal or any other genre with... brutal tones!

Ludovic M.08/05/2015

At the top! Strong bass and reinforced sustain. I find it much more balanced than a standard tie rod. I sometimes use a .09 high E string on my Telecaster 52 which has a fairly round neck and a fairly large string height. I am gaining in fluidity of games!

Mounted on a Cort EVL X5 for heavy drop D then standard D. It's going well. You could almost raise a tie rod even higher as needed. It improves the Metal sound one tone down:)

Thierry V.05/07/2017

Good value for money, the sound is good, the comfort as well. As long as you maintain your instrument a little, the lifespan is reasonable.

Thomas G.11/06/2010

Ideal for adding more power and richness to the sound
For example, when you tune in to a lower tone:
A sound rich in harmonics
