Albeit, I was very skeptical, but after installing them on one of my many guitars, I fell in love right away. They play like butter, are very durable and can bend for days. The tone is also fantastic, no loss whatsoever. I bought several more sets to install on other guitars and these will now be my new strings from here on out.
UPDATE 8/2021 : OK folks...these are it!!!! I love these strings more than any other, every time I pick up a guitar with Guage 9 strings, they just feel like heavy gritty lackluster wire to me anymore, they just don't even feel right after playing these. These strings have truly transformed my guitars, all of them. I still have a few guitars in my studio with Guage 9s that are about to be re-strung with these because I don't even like to play em with those old Guage 9 strings on em. My guitars feel better than ever, they even sound (slightly) better and brighter. I play everything from metal, classic rock to chicken picken country, these are the strings for me. Never thought I would ever go to a lighter guage after all these years, but I am a transformed player and can admit that it's never too late to try something new or different.
I 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.
So I got these Revered Willy guitar strings 7s. They feel really light and nice and easy to play. They do buzz but I don't really notice much when I'm running distortion. I've still got to let the guitar get use to the lighter strings and see where things go.
I've have used these in the past in my lefty les paul 100. It felt really good but I didn't get the set up on it right so it had some intonation issues.
That could of been resolved by a guitar tech setting it up. Although most guitar techs will look at you like your crazy for using such light strings.
So I do my own guitar setups. Its a learning experience. I wouldn't want to do on a 1000+ guitar.
I play in standard E standard tuning. I lean to rock/blues but I'm trying to expand more with rocksmith 2014 which I've been using since the first rocksmith came out.
To end this review my opinion is guitar is the time you put in practicing lighter strings can lead to more guitar practice since the hands don't get as tired as fast with 9s or 10s. I recommended the 7s to someone just starting out with guitar and to take things slow and easy and develop technique.
Then think about going to heavy strings if you feel these are too light.
Have a nice day and THANK YOU DUNLOP FOR THE LIGHT GUITAR STRINGS!!!
