Stringjoy HVY137 7 String Signatures Nickel Electric Guitar Strings, (Heavy Bottom Extra Heavy Gauge, 13-74)

Context: I'm an extremely, extremely mediocre player with under 15 years of playing. I primarily play dropped tunings and recently purchased a 7 string so I decided to give these a shot. The strings on the guitar were an expensive brand so I was weary about slapping these on but right after some flubbing around I dialed in my tuning with the Stringjoys and I immediately noticed a difference in tone. The strings beforehand would produce a noticeable hum and buzz when idle and during play. The Stringjoys are quiet, I can bend as needed and they'll keep in tune. I'll be these first to admit I am horrible at restringing so having a set that withstand my heavy picking is honestly a little weird. The guitar I'm using is a 26.5" length bolted on neck so that might be helping a bit. I noticed zero slack while playing Drop F. I used the 11-70 set and found that my tuning pegs and nut didn't mind the extra girth, unlike your mom. Anyway, intake my word for it or don't but these strings surprised me and fit my needs.

I've been playing a lot in the past week since these arrived and I couldn't be any happier. As soon as I started playing, I knew I made the right choice. The strings have stayed in tune even through heavy usage. The bottom end is perfectly capable for drop tuning and it sounds amazing; there's no looseness or string buzz in the lowest string either. I love how crisp and clear the strings sound, especially the higher end strings. The strings also feel great overall. The perfect balance of light and heavy for my fingers. All in all, I'm very happy with everything from playability to sound to feel. They're the best strings for my extended range guitars that I've used thus far.

Stringjoy never fails, my go to strings.

I'm a guitar player of over 20 years, and I have never encountered such quality strings in my life. Having taken a years-long break from playing full time, I recently decided it was time to get back in the fold. I wanted to completely redesign my tone, and for me, that starts with rethinking my string choice. I was a long-time D'Addario player, being that they are from my native Long Island, but I needed something stronger, better...different. Then I found Stringjoy. I took a chance and placed the order. When they arrived, I was delighted to see an actual hand-written signature penned in real ink on the box! This is clearly a company that takes pride in what they do. I finally got around to stringing up my 7-string with a pack of heavy bottoms, and after tuning up and plugging in, I was absolutely floored. The tone is rich and thick, and exactly what I was looking for. Stringjoy will be my go-to going forward. I'm delighted to have found such a quality manufacturer. Next, I'll be breathing new life into one of my 6-strings. Can't wait for that! Thanks for making such a great product, please keep it up!

To bad they went on an awful guitar

I had been looking for strings could handle a tuning as low as Drop F, but I didn’t want to purchase an eight string pack; So after suggestion from my buddy, Fabian, the guitarist for Ritual of Despair, I decided to give them a try and they were worth every penny! I love the feel of the strings, and I love the coating on them! These strings are immaculately thick for drop F tuning, easy to install and great sounding string! From now on the 13-74 set is my go to for my Schecter Damien Platinum 7

They're guitar strings. They shipped quickly, and I appreciate that they're color-coded. They hold tune. They sounded bright out of the package, but I can't say they lasted any longer than any other string brand...I mainly just wanted to support "the little guy".

Great tension. Tunes wonderfully. Quality.

El día que recibí el paquete de cuerdas Me lleve la sorpresa de que venia dentro una garrapata... así es ...una garrapata!! Y bastante grande :s No logré tomarme foto dado que lo primero que hice fue ir a tirarla por el retrete. Compré calibre 13 para una guitarra de 7 y quedaron bastante tensas, supongo que se debe a la escala de la guitarra así que tendré que cambiar a otro calibre más pequeño.
