Good strings but be careful

By: on 19 June 2025
There was nothing wrong with these strings. And they arrived very quickly. I wanted to see if they would give me an SRV tone. Everything went well until I tuned to concert pitch. The extra tension of the heavy gauge strings pulled the (tremolo) bridge up and made the guitar unplayable. They would be fine with a hard tail bridge but didn’t work on my strat so I changed back to a lighter gauge. I know SRV tuned down to E flat, but that wouldn’t work for me. I give them 4 stars because they felt very good quality. I can’t give 5 as I never got to play them.
