- Q: Are these strings only for heavy metal?
- A: While perfect for rock and metal, their bright, clear tone and balanced feel make them excellent for any 7-string style, including jazz and fusion.
- Q: How do these feel for bending and solos?
- A: They are designed to be super-flexible. Despite the thicker cores, they feel great for bending and sustaining notes in the higher register.
