These are the best strings I've found for my Gibson SG. They have a warm, rich tone that really brings the guitar to life. The strings are exceptionally corrosion resistant, stay in tune longer than any other strings I've used, and I've never had a Gibson Vintage Reissue string break, ever. Give them a try, after all, if you don't like them you can always change strings.

I own an Epiphone Les Paul Standard electric guitar, and these strings are pretty much the only strings anyone should use for such a guitar. The feel is like none other. I used to use Ernie Balls (super slinky) which were also great strings, but these Gibsons are a definite upgrade from the Ernie Balls. I recommend them to anyone with a Les Paul style guitar.

I put these on my Ric 360. And they jingle jangle like they should. This is a tough string; Swedish steel like a Volvo. They play great and stay dead on. The strectch is controllable because they may be a little more taut then others but I can push them a step or more and they always recover smoothly. My action is set very low and these strings are smooth to bar and slide so it is a nice combo and a nice solid warm tone. Never had one break. But they did oxidize like crasy for a few days after one month. Very odd. Hasn't effected the sound.

I recently bought an LP clone XV-500. Great guitar, but all the popular string brands just didn't sound right. Too tinny and bright. These strings make an LP(or a clone) sound the way it should. No signs of oxidation after 3 weeks of 3hr a day play. Great tone, great feel, and long life. These are now my fave strings...period. Ernie and d'ad can't hang, sorry.

After forty years of buying strings for my guitars, VR10's has become my favorite and the most reliable.

Thirty + year player - These give you that true Gibson feel and sound. They last quite a long time, even with extensive daily playing. I use these on all of my Gibson guitars now.

I LOVE these strings on my '76 Les Paul, they bring out all the tone of the guitar!!! I had previously used Ernie Ball's but got sick of how short of a life span they had. I found these and couldn't believe how long they lasted, while still sounding new! Sound-wise, they blew the EB's away! Keep 'em wiped down, and these baby's will sing for a LONG time!!

I recently bought a Silvertone SSL3 guitar for my 15 year old son which came with some not so good strings. So I figured that a good set of strings will really make the guitar playing a more pleasant experience for him. He is very happy with these strings (thinks they are some of the best in the world), and thinks that I spent a lot of money for them. He asked me how much I paid, but I did not tell him. He says that as a result of these strings, the guitar sounds a lot better.
