Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
- Q: Why are these strings better for drop-tuning than a standard set?

- Q: Will these feel very stiff in standard tuning?
- A: Yes, this set is specifically designed for lower-than-standard tunings. In standard E-A-D-G-B-E tuning, they will have very high tension.
