Fabulous!
I used to be a die-hard buyer of Fender and D’Addario strings.
Untiil I found these here LXL Jimi Wise strings and put them on almost all my guitars, and I can assure you that you need a lot of sets, considerimg my giant collection tele’s, strats, juniors, doublecuts, hollowbodies and jazzy style guitars.
Every time, so without any exceptiom, the guitar seems to become more alive after putting on these beautiful clear and resonant strings.
As Amanda Lear once said: ‘ Follow me”.
You will not be disappointed.
Have a good one, and Thomann thanx agaim for keeping up your deliveries throughout the COVID pandemic. My compliments!

You don't know what you're missing!
Even if you're not a fan of light gauge strings, you should try them at least once. I bought a set to try it out in one of my Strats and I was amazed by how well balanced the sound was. They also last very long at least from experience. Most guitar string sets are "G heavy" but here you have a very well balanced sound. Oh and by the way for those of you who do not know it, Jimi Hendrix's preferred set was a "10-38" the so-called "Rock N' Roll" set back in the day... 'Nuff said...

my strat came alive with these strings
I can't recommend this string set enough. I will never put anything else on my strat. I recommend it for anyone who like me bends a lot. It really opens up a new universe of bending on the wound strings, you can effortlessly bend up 3 steps on any of those. It also sounds incredibly balanced, I mean there IS a reason why hendrix' sound engineer came up with this string set.

Strings Jim but not as we know it!
You may be wondering why the odd gauge to certain strings in this pack, or you may be slightly more curious and have heard that Jimi himself used something other than the norm. You ma ybe like me and just always wondered why your G string sounded louder than others and that when you switched to bass strings and power chords the contrast was.... well overpowering and bass heavy.......
and so the search began for some sort of hybrid set that addressed some of these feelings of wrongness, that initially i just couldn't articulate.
Its subtle, the difference you will hear, but it is audible. The strings sound closer and more even. Bass can still be added if that's your bag, unless you don't have a tone control on your guitar or amp. For someone who plays primarily on the rhythm pickups this will help with articulation of the bass strings and remove some of the boominess experienced with some guitars and amps.
Overall brand quality is good and i like the sound that i get from this gauge for certain guitars and certain styles. Give it some thought..... try a pack and see what you think, after all its not like your changing a pickup or something equally as drastic or expensive in search of the sound in your head.

Cheap and good
I didnt really notice that much of a difference between these strings and other, more expensive strings that I usually use. Sound great, last long, do their job :)

Hendrix gauge
Gave these a try on my reverse headstock Strat. Standard tuning. Tension is all right, although I think it would be too light on a shorter scale guitar.
