it's sort of comical to me that these thick strings are being presented as anomalous to make your shredding sound thicker, when the purpose of skinny strings was to help shredders get through certain sections because they couldn't play it on "normal" jazz strings. which are actually 13s. i mean, i guess it's nice to see that the trick is no longer perceived as necessary, but this stuff is more flash than substance. this is really quite silly.

thick strings like this are great for blues players, and help to fatten up those big jazz chords, if you play them. punkabilly. etc. but if you want to seriously shred? well, they cut the gauge down specifically for you. and this shit is deceiving...
