Curt Mangan 11-48 Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings

I'd been using Stainless Steel strings for a long time. A friend talked me into trying these Cut Mangans. Wow! I would not have expected that much of a change. The strings sounded more defined, fuller and crisper (if that term makes sense in this context). I play a Strat which is already jangly. The Mangan strings keep that Strat sound and make each string more defined. This is anecdotal but, I think they're louder too.Whatever this "fusion matched" is, seems to be pretty effective. I think I may just be converted. Update. After two months use I'm not as impressed. D-string broke after a week. And I'm noticing a kink in the G-string near the bridge. The sound is good but, the strings don't seem reliable. I'm going back to my Rotosounds that never gave me a bit of bother. Just for info, I change strings about every three months with my regular usage. More often if I do more playing than usual. This Mangans sound really good but, I don't need strings that I have to worry all the time about breaking, especially at gigs.

The best strings I have ever used. I started using these about 6 years ago and have not made a switch since. Toneful and reliable strings. Crisp, clear and long lasting. If you have never played a Curt Mangan set of strings, do yourself a favor and try them out.

After trying many different brands of guitar strings, these are definitely my favorite. They sound great right out of the package, stay in tune right away, require very little stretching or breaking in, and feel great under my fingers.

Great tone and feel.

Strings are very toneful and stable! I will start using these. Shipment from Colorado via USPS to Florida was quick.
