9 - 42 nickel wound set
Trying a lighter Guage for a Gibson LP Special wrap around bridge. Was worried the Guage wouldn't hold up tone wise, but they react perfectly to Greg Koch Fishman Fluence P-90 set.
9-42 Nickel Wound
These are outstanding quality strings. Excellent tonal clarity. I now use these exclusively. Thank you Curt
9-42 Nickel Wound
Excellent strings - bright and crisp - well priced
Hooked
These were the very first strings i ever tried from Curt Mangan 4 years ago and i have been hooked on them ever since. These strings were recommended to me to try and i was not disappointed. I found them to have a great sound and be of high quality. Over the past few years that i have used Curt Mangan strings i have noticed they tend to be fresher right out of the pack than some other top brands i have used.
Very Nice
These 9's are comfortable, reasonably priced, and sound good on my Bullet Strats. Glad I tried them!
My only strings
I have been using Curt Mangan 10.5-48 strings for a few years now, simply because they were one of only two manufacturers who offered this gauge. I play drop eb tunings in my band, and 10.5-48 give me the same tension as 10-46 in standard tuning. I have been so happy with these strings that I decided to use them on all my guitars - 9-42 on my 25.5 scale guitars, and 10-46 on my 24.75 scale guitars. These strings are my goto strings on everything now. They sound fantastic and have a punchier sound than other strings. They feel as slick as a coated string, and are priced right in the middle. I have never broken a CM string. I will continue to use these on all my guitars as I am extremely pleased and I have tried EVERY string manufacturer out there.
Outstanding
As a 66 year old Rocker/ Fusion player I put these strings on my Jackson DK@ Pro. The Seymour Ducan pickups woke up. Bright highs and tight mids tones, and not over whelming bass. tune quickly and great for a Floyd Rose bridge.
String review
I really like these strings. Very easy on the fingers and the sound is great.
Great Strings
Curt Mangan’s strings came highly recommended to me from a great guitar player. They are the best I’ve played. Great service, quick delivery.
Great Tele Tone
These strings have crazy good tone on my Tele. Most strings you can't really tell the difference, but with these you can.
