Naked Strings
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.

Re: Naked Strings
sounds pretty neat.
wish they had an option for steel or nickel on bass.

Re: Naked Strings
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.

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

Re: Naked Strings
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

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

Re: Naked Strings
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

Re: Naked Strings
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.
