I played many different brands trying to find one that stood out. While these don't have magical finger fixing properties they do have a great balance across the spectrum. I like the bass response a lot and the upper end is bright without being tinny.

When I'm done with this box I'll probably go on another string hunt just because I'm anal-retentive.

By the way, these are the first strings that I like equally across all of my guitars. I would find a brand that would sound great on a dreadnaught and suck on my parlor. Keeping track of that many different brands of strings was too time consuming. Heck I'd need Dennis C. to make me a spreadsheet. With all the guitars you have, that would be a decent size spreadsheet. Good at least you've found something that works across the board.

Fah Q, take a cotton sock and put it on your fretting hand. Reach under on of the strings and lift if off the fretboard a bit to stretch it. Repeat for all strings. Do it 3 days straight and your strings will be stretched pretty well.]]> Guitar Players Discussion corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/blue-steel-strings/paged/2/#post-230729 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/blue-steel-strings/paged/2/#post-230601 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 06:41:10 +0000
I just picked up a set of BS strings (free gift, thanks GC!!), and the guy selling them said they weren't really that special. But I'm really looking forward to trying mine out, so let me know what you think. Not that I actually had to pay for this set, but I did notice that the price was six bucks a pack, which is about the same for most strings.]]> Guitar Players Discussion nirvgas https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/blue-steel-strings/paged/2/#post-230601 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/blue-steel-strings/paged/2/#post-230548 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 02:19:14 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Fah Q https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/blue-steel-strings/paged/2/#post-230548 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/blue-steel-strings/#post-229949 Tue, 20 Feb 2007 17:01:10 +0000 Only other string I used that stayed in tune that well were DR's.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Hiram https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/blue-steel-strings/#post-229949 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/blue-steel-strings/#post-229651 Mon, 19 Feb 2007 07:20:05 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion clockworked https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/blue-steel-strings/#post-229651 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/blue-steel-strings/#post-229488 Sun, 18 Feb 2007 18:01:47 +0000
