Comments

giuliana stancarone: Le corde sono ottime, fanno il loro dovere alla grande. Poi mi durano circa 3 mesi (ma non sudo molto e suono 1 ora al giorno). Comunque sono ottime!

pribilly: assurément les meilleurs cordes que j'ai pu utiliser pour ma fender stratocaster . D'habitude j'utilise cette marque mais je n'avais pas encore travaillé avec les regular slinky RPS . Le son obtenu est fabuleux .J'espère qu'il restera a ce niveau la dans le temps .

Ben From Heck: I used to use the regular brand of skinkies on my Casino, I still do for my other guitars but because the casino has a tailpiece that likes to strip off the ball ends of the b and high E string I decided to nab the RPS model, haven't had balls stripping off the tailpiece in years do I think the extra money is worth it. Sound wise I couldn't tell the difference personally
