I put them on a hollow body guitar. They have a very nice bright chunky tone. I would recommend them.

Great service.

Magen I got the pack and opened it the strings were a little corroded I think rotosound need to package their string better but other than that like the r13 roto grays great for tuning my guitar to C

wound strings are bright but ruff

Have you ever decided to change your guitar strings up one gauge from say 9's to 10's or from 10's to 11's just to check out the tone from a heavier gauge ? yes we all have, & I'll bet that when you did, you found you got a really nice tone on the last three strings (E A D) especially when doing power chords, but to your horror you found that now the first three strings (E B G) are that bit heavier and not so easy to play anymore, am I getting warm here..??? If your style involves string bending, hammer-ons pull-offs & triplets, then you will prob' be inclined towards lighter gauge strings, and if your style involves power chords, then you might be inclined towards heavier strings, that's fine, but what do you do if you want the best of BOTH WORLDS...??? in other words, you want to be the next Eddie Van Halen or Rory Gallagher but that set of 11's or 12's won't allow you to do that. The golden rule where string gauges are concerned is... always use the heaviest gauge strings you can but ones that will still allow you to play whatever style you are into because it's common knowledge that a heavier gauge string will always give you a louder but especially a truer note. Plus the fact that heavier strings will always stay in tune much longer than lighter strings, but the problem with heavy gauge strings is that they don't bend so easy.. and although lighter gauge strings WILL allow you to bend to your hearts content, you will now forfeit that nice tone you got from the heavier gauge strings you tried a few weeks ago... "So what am I supposed to do" I hear you ask ?? The answer is simple, you get the best of BOTH WORLDS, enter Rotosound RH10... The RH stands for Regluar Heavy, meaning you get regular gauge on the top strings & heavy gauge on the bottom... (just the opposite to how I like my women :) Take for instance a regular set of 10's which would be 10,13,17,26,36,46....that is roughly your standard set of 10's. With Rotosound RH10 you get the first three strings as standard gauge (10 13 17) and to balance that out & you get the last three strings as a heavy gauge (32 42 52) which depending on your style you won't be bending that much anyhow. Don't just take MY word for it, try a set yourself, definitely worth trying. I'm aware that these strings won't work for everyone but they certainly do work for me & so I recommend them highly.

I've tried alot of different strings over the years but never roto sound. I always ended up going back to the super slinkys more out of convenience as every shop carries them but I was never really happy with them. For me the g and b strings were always going out of tune (not the case with rotos) I also disliked how quickly they lost clarity and feel. The roto yellows are a great string but there is something about how they feel thats keeping me from saying they are perfect. Mabey I got to play with them more. I will be trying the nexus next and then the 9s if I'm not happy with the nexus. I really hope I can find a roto that suits my feel as these are the best string I've used in regards to holding their tuning. Also sound great when bending, vibrato etc. I play alot of drop d and drop b for a couple of songs, tune it where you want it and it will hold it. I dont have anything fancy on my guitar. Its just an Ibanez FR2620. The rotos also break in really fast. If they felt a bit smoother to the touch I would happily give them a 5. But as it stands today after a 4 days of playing them its a 4. Feel is a very personal thing, its really the only thing that truely sets us guitarists apart from each other, so take my -1 star with a pinch of salt as that loss is on feel alone. To you they could feel great. Only thing I regret is not taking the chance on Roto sound sooner. I'm really impressed. Getting the extra free high e string is of course totally awesome and should become standard practice for all manufacturers.

I have been playing for 25 years, play fingerstyle and with a pleck, and I play all styles. I own a Gretsch Pro Jet, A semi hollow and a strat. Since 2001 I have used Roto Yellows (these). About a year ago a friend bought me a set of D'Addario EXL 110's and I liked them so I switched to them for a change. I then recently switched to Ernie Ball Cobalts and was very happy with them initially, but I found them too expensive and lacking any "attitude" and "mojo". This week I decided to try the Roto Yellows again after my new experiences with the other brands. NOTHING that I have used so far has the spank, sparkle, clarity, vibe and sheer attitude that these Rotosounds have. These strings have stood the test of time for a reason and I am so happy to have returned to using them. They have brought my playing back to life and make me want to play 'till my fingers bleed.......Unbeatable deal on the 2 pack as well. If I had only one negative it would be that when I bought the 2 pack there was some slight tarnishing on the solid strings, but I'm not too bothered about it as it didn't affect the tone and I'm sure it was just a once off......
