Fender guitars?" and that was that. I generally like the way the
Fenders sound off the wall at the music store. With having
who-knows-how-many different sets of hands on them, these strings seem
to wear pretty well. I've come across a few with some pretty
dead/discolored strings there; but who knows how long they'd been
hanging around for?
I'm curious to know how well these strings wear for people who gig out with them on a regular basis.
I've liked the nickel-plated Fender .10s i've used throughout the
years. I haven't used them enough to speak to their consistency,
but they've always felt and sounded good. To my ear, they don't
sound any better or worse (or different) than the
EXL110s or
2221s i've been using for years. Like just about every brand
of electric guitar string i've ever used, i've never had a problem with
the Fender strings breaking for any other reason than my own abuse.
The online price on these isn't bad, but i still don't understand why
Fender strings can't be less expensive. They're made by (or at least for) Fender.
I can't believe that Fender Guitar wouldn't be able to get some
CRAZY bulk pricing for their strings. I understand they're looking
to make a profit on this particular accessory, but if they were
competitive with D'Addario it'd be WAY easier to build brand loyalty;
isn't that where the smart money is?
