Naked Strings

Post by Gunner Recall »

I just got an email from PG about some promo for naked strings...free shipping, pretty cheap too.

They have a fancy app that lets you create a custom set (pick your gauges).
There's an option for 7string/baritone/bass as well.
No flatwounds (yet), but it still looks great, especially for the price...

Has anyone tried them?
At about $3 a set they seem pretty appealing, especially since you can pick the individual gauges.

I rely on d'addario to tell me what string gauges go together... I have no idea what I would pick if I could choose them individually.

I've always been a DR fan myself but I am definitely going to give these a try as my next few sets.

Went with 11.5 - 15 - 24w - 42 - 44 - 56 for my normal guitars
and 13 - 16 - 26w - 38 - 50 - 60 for the bari

Will post once they arrive though I suspect they will sound like guitar strings :)*

That custom gauge thing is a great idea, and they're cheap too! Wish they shipped outside the USA/Canada...

I dig em.
I'd say as good as the slinkys they replaced. Really love the wound g.
For the price you can't really go wrong. My new custom gauge feels right, dunno if I can go back.

High e got shitty fast, though I did drop a steak on the guitar a few days after restringing :snax:

I've been using them too. Should have gone with a wound G. D :

They're good stuff. I dunno what to compare them to, since... I don't care... but yeah, they're neat.
