Framus Blue Label Strings Set 10-64

10 - 64
For the price, I'm very impressed with these strings. Given the price of certain brands, there is an expectation that those costing less will somehow be inferior. So far, I can say that this is not the case. However, realistically, strings are strings, and differences between brands are negligible. What is worth commenting on however is the set gauges. This set comes equipped with a 10 through to 64. I personally find these gauges to be suitable for down tuning a whole step a standard scale, with the lowest string down two whole steps, which is how I use them (drop G on a 25.5" scale length RG7421)

Pros

- Reasonably priced
- Well balanced gauges. Not all brands get this right (I'm looking at you Earnie Ball....)
- Quality feels exactly the same as to any of the big brands
- Recyclable packaging. I know this is a funny thing to comment on, but it matters.

Cons

- None. They're great strings for the price

Who are these for?

I would say these are ideal for anyone playing a 7 string with a 25.5" inch scale length or more and are looking to down tune more than half a step. The real test with these products comes with how long they actually last. Although, I would argue that if you're the sort of person whose strings turn black over a couple of months, you should be wiping your strings down on the regular anyway

Having used these for a short while, I'm yet to see any compelling reason to have spent more on a more well-established brand of string.
