New String Day

[MetalManiac]

From Dean Markley;

Helix Strings represent a giant leap forward in the evolution of string technology. Helix’s patent-pending Elliptical Winding process brings new life to your music with a smoother feel, and a richer, more resonant tone that is unrivalled by conventional strings.
The Hyper-Elliptical compressed winding process allows for an increased number of wraps across the length of the string without altering its diameter, resulting in fuller tone, incredible sustain, amazing output, and an increased life span.

But no matter the technology behind the amazing Helix strings, it’s all about tone. Made of 8% nickel-plated steel, wrapped over tinned mandolin wire hex-core, Helix strings are ingeniously twisted to create more mass with a smoother feel, producing enhanced tone, sustain, and longevity. Try ‘em and you’ll see...and hear the differenc

Re: New String Day

I use pure nickels for the most part. I have one string through, set neck dual bucker guitar that is dark. I bought a couple sets of the Helix strings, pretty much because I stumbled upon them on sale (less than 4 bucks I think) and a few reviews said that were fairly bright. Maybe a little brighter than the pure nickels on that guitar but for the most part, they were ok. I think a little less slinky than what I'm used to. Guitar doesn't get much play time so I don't have any long term impressions to offer.
