Before I discovered this brand and Musician's Friend, I used a number of well known brands for my personal guitars, and those I repaired. I broke the high E so often just trying to get it in tune the first time, I had to buy high E strings in bulk instead of part of a set. Now, that never happens with new strings, and I rarely break one even after some use and abuse. Sure, they'll lose their brightness after a while, but sometimes that works, they mellow with age. That sound is good too, depending on what you like of course. Get the right gauge and install them properly, you won't often get any problems out of these strings. Now, once in a great while you will encounter some that didn't leave the factory just exactly right, but it actually happens less with this brand than some well known brands that shall go unnamed, because I don't want sued.
I repair guitars, so I've tried about every brand out there. These are tops in my book, especially when you consider the low price. Frankly though don't let the price fool you, these are better than many of the name brands in many ways.
These are top quality, regardless of the low price. I do not break the high E strings like I often do with other brands. Once broken in, they stay in tune or very nearly in tune nicely. They wear long, have a nice tone even when not amplified, and do wonders when you crank it up. If you have any problems with these strings, you either picked the wrong gauge for your style, or you're not installing them properly.
It's not often you find a great deal like this, most would pass these by simply because they cost way less than the better known brands, that would be a big mistake. Frankly, other than choosing different string gauges for different purposes, I no longer use any other brand of steel strings, unless somebody gives me a set to put on their guitar, even then I try to talk them out of that, these are better than most, as good as any.

I own & maintain a BUNCH of guitars. I bought a set of these just to see if I could go with them and save a bit of scratch.
I put them on my #1 gigging Strat. Initially, they sounded fine. I don't feel the need to be nearly as picky with electric strings as with acoustic. However, I noticed that I needed to do some pronounced adjusting to the intonation on the 5th string to get it right ... well as close to right as I could, I actually ran out of adjustment room. It was WAY off from what is normal ... WAY off.
When switching back to my usual brand strings, I needed to set the intonation on that 5th string back to the more expected setting to get it right.
This left me feeling as though I won't be buying these again. Not sure what could have caused the intonation issue in a string ... but it was definitely SOMETHING!

Comments about Musician's Gear Electric 9 Nickel Plated Steel Guitar Strings:
I originally was skeptical because of the price. My uncle got me using GHS Boomer 9s and so that was the only brand I trusted. Well as a new player and in high school, I don't have a lot of money and I broke the high e string and needed to replace them. I saw these and decided to give them a shot.
Boy was I surpised. I use a Squier Tele and a Peavey 158 Transtube amp. These strings sound better than the Boomers I had. Granted I've only used one set and maybe I got lucky, but so far these strings rock. I like to play AC/DC and these fit perfectly.

Comments about Musician's Gear Electric 9 Nickel Plated Steel Guitar Strings:
I compared these to Ernie Ball Super Slinkys and was surprised that the main difference between them is the Ernie Ball's cost 3x as much and come in slick packaging. If your not impressed with packaging, then I see no reason to buy the higher priced strings...good strings, no problems!

Comments about Musician's Gear Electric 9 Nickel Plated Steel Guitar Strings:
These are great to have for band rehearsals and learning songs with. They wouldn't be my first choice to gig with as they're not coated, but for an all purpose electric guitar string, these work just great! 49 years of playing, 33 as a pro. Great bang for the buck!

Comments about Musician's Gear Electric 9 Nickel Plated Steel Guitar Strings:
Well,These are very inexpensive strings, So I use them alot to put on guitars that I am selling. That said, I do play the guitars a little bit after their re-strung, and these string feel just fine: probably almost as good as D'Addario. They are also nice to keep around the studio in case someone breaks a string, or needs a spare set.Good Value- Thanks MF!
