Great 1st experience with Artist ELST1046 electric

By: Vince on 8 May 2020

I'm pretty impressed with the Artist electric guitar strings I purchased online. These strings tuned up and settled in as well as the better known brands I've used over the last 42 years. They hold their tune despite my style of playing with lots of bends on a Strat with the trem up floating as Leo Fender intended and are very stable. Bright enough to require rolling off the tone on my guitar when new, the Artist strings held their crisp tone quite as well as better known brands. Now after a couple of weeks of home use, they still sound good and I haven't broken any and they haven't tarnished much considering I rust everything I touch. Overall, these strings are darn good value for money and I'll purchase more soon. Highly recommended!

10/46 Artist guitar strings

By: BRANDON on 14 March 2020

These strings are very well priced . I have used these strings for awhile now and have to say they do the job well. I put a new set on just before a gig and they last the duration of the gig , So I have confidence in these strings. So for the price and quality I give them 2 thumbs up.

Good strings, can't complain

By: DNA on 12 July 2019

Good price and great strings. This will save you lots if you change strings often. I'm not too particular about my strings. These sound good to me. Not too sparkly and not too mellow.

You gets what you pay for!

By: Bryan King on 6 October 2017

I wanted the cheapest possible strings as quickly as possible to put on a friends guitar, so I'm not necessarily dissatisfied with my purchase. But if I'm reviewing the strings on their merit as serviceable guitar strings, then these are the worst strings I've ever put on a guitar. The thing with steel cored guitar strings, is the steel MUST have the right amount of carbon. Too much carbon, the steel is brittle and weak. These strings are weak because they're too soft, in other words, not enough carbon. How do I know? I managed to put serious kinks in the unwound strings just getting them out of their individual packets! I string the guitar using this technique - http://www.fretnotguitarrepair.com/repair/acoustic-guitar/string-changing.php This was too much for the high E string in this set, and the string broke at the tuning peg just trying to tune it ti pitch. Super weak. These strings are not even suitable for a student-level player. Even if these strings were all you could afford, I'd still recommend waiting till you had a bit more money and just get some D'Addario's!

Artists strings

By: Colin Sutherland on 31 August 2017

These guitar strings are just as good as any other brand and i have tried lots.All strings break eventually depends on your playing style ,how often you play and if you ever bother to wipe them after playing.Artists brand stands up as good as most expensive brands.

Best 6 dollars ever spent.

By: Rene on 16 February 2017

I was given a second hand Squire Stratocaster by my children for one of my many Birthdays several years ago. The guitar always sounded a bit sad and out of tune even though it was perfectly tuned with correct intonation. It sounded a bit like a randy tomcat courting by moonlight. Anyway, I started to think that maybe a new set of strings could make a difference. And a difference it made, when I finally spent the 6 dollars. If you are looking for a affordable string that does not blow your budget, give Artist strings a go. Are they perfect? No. Are they good. Yes, they are very good. The Artist ELST1046 strings have brought my sad old guitar back to life.
