Ouch, that is too expensive! I think there are few different styles of Bullets. I order mine off Amazon... Original Bullets for like $5 a pack. But yeah, I use them just cause the tuning stability is really solid. The sound is decent enough and they do seem to last a while before getting that flat sound.

My student owned an ibanez gio for about 2 year, first year was ok but the second year he started using elixir's and on the second set the guitar went to a luthier for fret change...the reason is the stuff they use for anti-rust makes the string harder than the fret so bending melts it. Keep in mind though cheap guitars use really soft frets. My guitar (again an ibanez) has stanless steel an after 15 years it needs very minor fretwork (which I keep delaying ).

Actually I heard very positive things about them, the cobalt is on the wound stings so I don't expect it to be a similar problem. The local guitar store where I use sold the first party pretty fast.

Keeps tune better with the tremelo cause of the bullet heads. I notice a big difference when I'm not using bullet strings and always re-tuning when using the tremelo... very annoying. I'm not to fussy I'll use Ernie Ball, D'Addario, or cheaper Fender strings on other guitars. I usually play in just E standard tuning last couple years and stick with 9-42 or 9-46. I sometimes play in drop tunings and use Ernie Ball slinky's 11- 52 gauge on my Les paul for that. DeGroot - You've just reminded me of the last thing I didn't check with my floating tremolo in the strat 0 the bullet ended strings. I almost made my bridge working perfect. Only problems with G string losing pitch after making beds (always go back tu tune after pressing and loosing the whammy bar) I tried some lubricant and it worked perfect in case of the tuning stability but...muted the open strings tone :/ You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
