Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with the GHS Rene Martinez Big Core pure nickel strings?

The concept is good and Rene Martinez has cred........ who has tried them and what are your thoughts?

Thanks

I bought some because I liked the gauges they came in. The strings are fine, but if you tune up to standard pitch, they put more tension on your neck than normal strings. Thus you will have to crank the truss rod. Since I didn't see myself going to these strings exclusively, and wasn't using them for guitars tuned down, I don't use them.

I like em, I used to use them on my Goldtops and Strat but I have since switched to snake oil cause I can get about a month out of a set of those. Makes life easier.
