Dunlop RWN0738 Reverend Willy Electric Guitar Strings - Extra Light

Dunlop Rev. Willy's Electric Guitar Strings 07-38 Box of 6 SetsI first tried lighter gauge strings after reading an article by Eddie Van Halen. I worked my way down until I bought a set of Dunlop Rev. Willy's Electric Guitar Strings 07-38 and I have been using them for 10 years.EASE OF PLAYING: Compared with other strings I have used, Dunlop Rev. Willy's Electric Guitar Strings 07-38 are much lighter, bend easier, hammer on and pull off easier, barre easier, and pick easier. You will do new tricks that are hard to do with heavy strings. And your hands won’t get so tired after long playing — that’s especially important if you’re getting on in years.SOUND: I get plenty of highs, midrange and bass from these strings. They can give a shimmery tone in the high midrange that other strings don’t produce. And I like the sound.INSTALLATION: These strings are fine and will shoot across the room when they uncoil. Wear eye protection when you change strings. Make sure you don’t kink them while putting them through the bridge. After they are tightened and tuned, you don’t have to baby them.If you want to read more about these strings, check my review of Dunlop Rev. Willy's Electric Guitar Strings 07-38 Box of 6 Sets.HELPFUL HINTS: These strings are easy to play and will probably let you do things that thicker strings won’t. If you are curious, try a package — they aren’t that expensive. Then take your time and trust your ear. I think you will have fun, and that’s what’s important, after all.

I've been playing guitar for 50 plus years and these Dunlop Rev. Willie's strings are one of the better bang-for-your-buck strings that I've come across recently. They sound just fine and bend without breaking but the real value is how lively they stay for the the amount of time that they do. I play for awhile just about every day. I have a set of 9's on my #1 (Les Paul Standard) and there is a set that I've had on there for about 7 months or so and they still don't sound dead. All I do is after playing, when I'm wiping my guitar down before putting it back in it's case (which for new guitarists I suggest doing EVERY time you play..not on a stand, put it back in the case) I take some string fuel, apply it, and wipe it off..Keeps the strings nice and bright..but not usually for seven months, and that's the most impressive (and economical) thing about these strings..I'm gonna go ahead and change them even if they don't need it, I need to condition the fretboard, so as long as I'm doing that, might as well..But buy these!! They're a high quality set of strings that has unbelievable longevity!!

I've been curious about these strings for a while now, so I bit the bullet and tried a couple of sets out in the .007 gauge set. I installed them on a 1968 Telecaster and a 1995 American Standard Stratocaster.First off, I have to say that these strings are amazing! The feel is slinky and going from 10-46 to 7-38 was an adjustment, but after a few minutes playing, it was all good. The feel is great, and I am enjoying playing my Tele which always felt a little stiff, and the Strat is like a new guitar! And the cool thing is, I didn't even have to adjust my truss rods or alter my setup other than an intonation adjustment.The tone these strings produce is great, and after having these on my guitars for over a month now on a hanger, they are remarkably still in tune with only the most minuscule tweaks on the tuners on a string or two put them in perfect pitch.As an older player with arthritis and joint related problems, these are a godsend and I commend Dunlop for bringing these out. I suffer a great deal from joint pain, and with these strings, I play more comfortably and fluidly than I have in a while. For those who say "Big string give big tone", I challenge you to try a set and see how they work for you. You may be pleasantly surprised. I think they sound fantastic, and I'm switching all my guitars to these.Great job, Dunlop and Billy Gibbons!

Great strings
