Solid everyday strings
These aren't premium boutique strings, but for practice and gigging, they are perfect. The hex-core makes them very stable. One set lasted me about three weeks of heavy playing.

Perfect for my Strat
Fits my Fender Stratocaster perfectly. The ball ends seated nicely in the bridge. Tuning stability is excellent after the initial stretch.

Decent but not long-lasting
Sound good initially, but they seem to corrode faster than some other brands if you have sweaty hands. Still, the 3-pack means I always have a backup ready.

Good brightness
Nice crisp sound that cuts through the mix. They lost a little bit of sparkle after two weeks, but considering the price per set, I can't complain at all.

Great value for the price
I've been using Alice strings for years. This 3-pack is an incredible deal. They stay in tune well and have a nice bright tone right out of the box.

Smooth feel under fingers
The nickel plating feels very smooth, making bends easy. No rough spots on any of the three sets I received. Highly recommend for beginners and intermediates.
Q: What is the exact gauge of the high E string in this set?
A: The high E string in the AE530 model is .010 inches, as this is a Regular Light gauge set (.010-.046).
Q: Can I use these on an acoustic-electric guitar?
A: While physically possible to install, these are designed specifically for electric guitars. Using them on an acoustic-electric will result in very low volume when played unplugged.
Q: How should I store the extra sets to prevent rust?
A: Keep the unopened foil packets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, it is best to use the strings immediately or store them in an airtight container with a desiccant.
Q: Are these strings suitable for a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo system?
A: Yes, these strings feature standard ball ends and are fully compatible with Floyd Rose and similar locking tremolo systems.
Q: Do these strings come with a warranty?
A: Alice products come with a manufacturer's defect warranty. If any string fails due to manufacturing issues within the first week, please contact us for a replacement.
