Sufficient length

Finger destroyer
Ive been using the same gauge in daddario for over 1 year now. I am tuned to drop g#. they are fairly tight at that tuning and somehow the tone lasts longer on these. They have a certain twang that i look for in a guitar tone and although the daddario also has that it tends to fade within a week. Infact while recording my album with the daddario it lasted for 4 songs and then i could tell a difference between the original and later tracks. These strings so far sound like the tone lasts longer. This could be a placebo but i feel i wont be going back to daddario any time soon.

.80 oh god djenty
Yay! Installed on my guitar ,sounds amazing they arrived with free guitar picks, and one more important thing they fit in RG8 standard tuner heads the .80 comes with less thickness near the tuner and more thickness towards the nut and fits on both of them , thanks for ernier ball ,there was no drill (I was scared about this )required on the holes , if you are thinking buy one order from helloyello seller

Good.
Great for low tunings. Lacks in brightness but okay.

Perfect.
Perfect strings for ADGCFAD tuning on my 7 string and as well as Drop F tuning. Stays in tune. Just a little expensive. I wish it were cheaper and available in India.

Absolutely amazing!
After I put these on my Ibanez RG8, the change was immediately felt, both in playability and tone. However, the 3rd string was weak. It broke quite easily during installation. Had to put a cheap replacement.

Rusted e & b string
The 1st and 2nd string were rusted and it looked like it would break easily cos the strings condition were like that of string which are been used for two three months although it was new set of string but it had some ..I do not have the right word for it but it usually occurs after two three months of playing same string ...like it's going to break...next time I will stick with daddario ...hope I will find some 7 string set of daddario ..
