SIT Strings S942 Power Wound Extra Light Electric (9-42)

Quality product

These are by far the best strings I have ever played. So much feel and control and always in tune.

Great strings! They really do stay in tune well...

DO NOT HESITATE IS RIGHT! These strings are one of the best out there. And if you were the person like me that was thinking "well they're extra light so they couldn't sound as good." Buddy...they sound better, but you can bend the strings 20x easier. I'm not sure about how easy it is for installing these strings. This was the first time I did (and by myself) so the extra string are sticking out pretty far at the headstock! HAHA! but they are awesome. I am using mine for a Epiphone Les Paul Special II (my first guitar) and they do sound awesome. Check this out...I was going to take back my distortion pedal because it was sounding "cheap". But after playing with the new strings...WOWZERS. I wanna play every second (or at least until I wanna play Destroy All Humans!)

I thought I was getting a good deal so I ordered this item.Unfortunately this is almost $9 for one set of strings, even with free shipping - not a good deal at all.The ad itself clearly says "6 sets of strings" above but I was only sent one set and the vendor did not honor the listing when I emailed them about the mistake.As of 2011-Feb-09 the listing still says it is for 6 sets under "Product Features"These are nice strings but you can get a set of name-brand cryogenically frozen strings here on amazon (" Dean Markley Blue Steel LT 2552 Electric Guitar Strings (.009-.042) ") for about $3 less.The upside is that this set came with free / extra 1st & 2nd strings.Decide for yourself if those extra 2 strings are worth the price, especially since a set of SIT S942's can be purchased from other vendors for several $$ cheaper.4 stars for "SIT S942 strings" - other, less expensive strings are arguably as good or better, so SIT S942s do not get 5 stars from me.1 star for how pleased I was with this seller...

Nice strings for a great price!
