## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it djent?**
A: These strings will djent my friend!

**Q: Is the 74 tapered? I have locking tuners**
A: I believe so - they had no problem fitting in the tuners for my 6-string guitar. HOWEVER, I would greatly recommend thicker strings - particularly if you have a longer-scale guitar. I'm currently rocking a .10-.90 set on my 8 string and the difference is incredible. Many people would have you believe that you need expensive active pickups to get a good sound; but with a thick enough set handling the bass register, all the wimpiness I was experiencing is gone.Check out www.stringjoy.com

**Q: Do these strings fit an Ibanez RG9?**
A: Yep.

**Q: What's the string length?**
A: Around 35 to 36 inches in length

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Strings
*by E***N on August 17, 2025*

These strings are slightly heavier than the D'Addario pack. They come sealed, so you can keep them around and they stay fresh. Strings themselves are great - sound great, easy to string and tune. Switching from a lighter pack to these solved the fret buzz problem on my Kiesel A2 on the lower three strings, really good stuff.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great strings on my Gretsch G5422G12
*by M***E on December 8, 2024*

I went with these for my 12 string Gretsch Electromatic. I don't play my 12 string daily and it is in storage frequently for weeks. The .010 gauge sets always concerned me on 12 string guitars - that's a lot of pressure on the neck. When I stumbled on this .008 12 string set, I had to try them out. So-far, I love them! It is noticeably easier to play and I can feel less tension on the neck. I couldn't be happier. They sound great and I feel better knowing I can leave the guitar tuned to standard E tuning and not tempt fate with damage. Definitely my future go-to string set for my 12 string.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Multi Scale guitars
*by B***N on June 30, 2025*

Perfect for my Schecter Omen Elite 8. Can easily play 6 and 7 string songs with ease vs other brand 8 string packs. Crisp and hold perfect tune. Only wish I could get a coated set in this gauge from Ernie ball.
