Gibson re-string

So this Summer, Gibson decided to do something about their strings. I don't hear much praise when it comes to Gibson strings except from the manufacturer themselves who once claimed that the metal in their strings were formulated to react specifically to their pickups' magnetic pull. There's some secret sauce in there that somehow makes their strings magical & it escaped me entirely all these years. My main beef with them is that their durability factor sucks, almost as atrocious as Ernie Ball. 

This new generation of strings are supposedly more inviting when it comes to feel & tone. Whatever the case, Gibson isn't a force to be reckoned with when it comes to string chemistry. The string specialist brand names out there would probably have surpassed Gibson's current standards in string manufacture but folks, more sauce added to the mix doesn't equal an outright appeal. Maybe, just maybe, Gibson added that wee little bit of magic to really conjure some incredible outcome; we just have to try them when they are made available here. At the rate things are going under the new management, we can expect some upward shift in performance goodness as the very least. I'm gonna  try a pack.
