Greetings my fellow knuckleheads.
So I had planned to write a review of a set of PARADIGMs that I got, but time got away form me, I put them on my HH AL as it needed some love... and a new set of strings!
So... what do I think? -I've been playing Ernie Ball super slinky 9's since November 1991. forum member Lum and I used to get other brand of strings for £2.99 per set and one day the shop stopped doing that deal and I needed strings and moved to slinky...
For me (And I urge you to try them) I was sceptical as to why I would spend that much on strings, -I mean strings are strings right ?..... WRONG!
These are different, I can't quite explain the difference using anything musical or technical but I can give you an example of why you should at least try them.
I'm 40, I have 2 kids that are heading to teenage-ville. I have the most busy work schedule and spend too much time on airplanes and I am struggling to get any time to play. on an average WEEK I manage 30 minutes at best for the whole week. The day after I restrung my HHAL - 1 Hour playing and every other day since I have played for at least 45-60 minutes each time.... It's gotta be the strings, it's the only thing that's changed and when I use another guitar I don't play anywhere near as often. The feel smoother they sound better ( I think) and they have VERY sexy packaging.
yes I'm a fanboy, - Yes this is in the guitar section and is a tedious link to a string review but - if there are any of you out there on the fence, I urge you to pull the trigger even just once... very cool strings, and very worth the extra £££££'s or $$$$$ 's
Smelly out.
