Reviews around guitar (5.00 of 5)

  • really good guitar players sound amazing
  • The thicker bottom strings work wonders keeping the guitar in tune.
  • Also, the cobalt coating makes my guitar play much brighter than the Ernie Ball standards, lending for more clarity when I use all six or seven strings for chords

Reviews around end (3.86 of 5)

  • , I got all of them on and began to tune them, I got the low B string tuned, and then the E string broke, then the A string broke, so then I gave up
  • The low end is nice and beefy while the trebles are nice,clear and bendy
  • Super bright and crisp and have such an amazing low end its not even funny
  • I don't normally use heavier gauged strings but decided to try these to see if I would enjoy the deeper bottom end.
  • These strings do have more output than others and I find it adds a lot to the top end which is great when you tune as low as I do

Reviews around player (3.86 of 5)

  • I'm an avid 7 string player and have tried both of the Cobalt sets - the Regular Slinky set and the Skinny
  • , I got all of them on and began to tune them, I got the low B string tuned, and then the E string broke, then the A string broke, so then I gave up
  • For reference, I'm tuned g#d#g#c#f#a#d# on a 98' rg7620, and the 11-58 set is perfect for me, some extra give especially on the bottom end, which I prefer as a dynamic bendy player.

  • For the most part with the rest of the strings in standard tuning its generally well balanced.
  • I love the balance that's offered in the gauge span, super comfortable to play
  • , I got all of them on and began to tune them, I got the low B string tuned, and then the E string broke, then the A string broke, so then I gave up

Reviews around set (3.22 of 5)

  • I've used the exact same set in the six-string version for years now and the sevens (which I'm using for the first time) don't disappoint

  • , I got all of them on and began to tune them, I got the low B string tuned, and then the E string broke, then the A string broke, so then I gave up
  • Perfect gauge layout for metal and heavy music, drop tunings
