This string is the best... I love it! It really brings out the heavy sound. Good for people that like grunge or metal music. Down side... it's kinda hard to do solos because of the weight. (but it sounds nice)
These are my exclusive choice of strings for all my electric guitars. They're impossible to break prematurely and they hold their very impressive tone forever and a day.
Just like the name says, they're amazing for power chords, or distortion chords in general, and are my favorite strings. The tone will last forever.One thing I should say though is that if you are looking for extremely bendable strings, you should look into getting the Ernie Ball Regular's instead, as when it comes to solos and bending, the Power's are to a little bit too stiff, and sustain could be better with a lighter gauge... I'm not saying that you can't do that with the Power's, I'm just saying that you can do it better with the lighter strings.
Although I like the tone of the Gibson 11's just a little bit more, these seem much more durable. I still break 'em all the damn time, but not quite as frequently as the other brand mentioned. Sometimes I wish they felt a bit more heavy gauge, especially on bends, but I can't stand the boomy sound of all the 12s I've tried... oh well.
I thought I would get these because I went to a slipknot concert and Mick Thompson and Jim root gave me some sets of strings (I had backstage passes) and these are what they used. I thought I would try them and I will not use any other strings on my guitar ever again!
