Dunlop RWN0738 Super Fine

I've been using these as my mainstay "Go To" strings for over 3 years now. They are very much an "Acquired" taste, just like the Red Sharkfin plectrums that perfectly complement them (283751). You have to be prepared to change your style. If you push them around too much and too hard, then they will go out of tune. (If you use hyper-sensitive power assisted steering, then drive heavy handed you may end up in a ditch!). If you want to be able to relax and enjoy really comfortable playing - for hours (If the rest of the band like/can put up with!) then these may be the perfect strings! If you want to smash hell out of the guitar - get some anchor cable or 012's or something, not these. These are THE most comfortable strings ever!

Nothing short of amazing. Reverend Willy's (aka Billy Gibbons) really slim strings so thin that the high E-string is practically invisible! And when you bend and vibrate it moves so easy it is almost silly. At first, they feel like rubber bands, but you get used to them pretty quickly. The thing you need to relearn is actually not to over bend. When you are used to .10's, or even .11's or higher, these strings move without no effort at all. It is actually a nice feeling. I am still in the learning phase, but I will surely keep these strings on one or two of my main guitars. They sound good and gives your guitar a little bit more trebly headroom, without losing any fatness in the mids and lows. Recommended for you that are not faint of heart...

I believe these are the Billy Gibbons signature set and possibly the only mass produced set of 7-38 today. I usually have 8-38 on one of my teles so I had to give these a try. Now obviously this set is not for the heavy handed and one of the reasons I've been using the 8-38 gauge is to train a lighter touch in both hands. If you can play with that in mind these are ridiculous fun to play with. The bending and the sliding is so effortless and with a light touch and controlled technique the tone can be warm, even full. Gauge apart these seem to be of good consistent quality and I have never snapped any of them.
