Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? They Are Dependable, just a little more prone to brakage, so you kind of have to be carefull when tunning. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've only had them for about week, so I couldn't really say....But so far so good Overall Your general opinion of this product. I have these on Les Paul, I do Like Natural distortion of the sting, I antully prefur it over gibson's. However they do have a little buzz to the (not the fret's) they are not as thick as gibson's which I like, But, because they're not as thick they're a little more prone to brakage. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The are a little chunky Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? not to dark or bright just right Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Action How was the action out of the box? a llttle to high

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Reliability How has it stood up over time? Overall Your general opinion of this product. I bought an Ibanez Gio guitar to see if I could learn to play at age 42. I bought a set of these strings (pink pack) at a music store and re-strung the guitar. It made a huge difference in sound and playability, so when I was shopping for a case and stand I ordered two sets from American Musical while I was at it.
