As an "old guy", my favorite strings were a combo of D'addario XL and Boomer customs. For all of my Gibson/Epiphone axes, it was straight ahead XL 009's. For my Fenders, it was boomer custom .008 to .040 sets. Over the past 20 years or so, I shifted to all D'addario for simplicity in purchase. While digging through an ad mail from PremiereGuitar, I saw the ad for Stringjoy. Jumping on their website, I discovered their Custom option. Holy Moley, I can get my old touch on my Fenders again! I quickly placed an order for 3 sets of custom strings for my Strats and a Tele. Got them yesterday and putting them on today.

@redstorm1655 2 года назад

I purchased a couple of sets of Foxwood (12-54) lights. I've been using Elixirs for a while and I thought based on the video, I would try them. I put the strings on my HD-28 Custom grand Ole Opry and I must say they are fantastic. The tone is what surprised me. I typically don't review much stuff but I thought this was worth writing it up. Thanks Jeremy for continuing to provide useful content

I am a Stringjoy subscriber. I love the strings and the history of the company. The guys who work there are awesome. So I got an email from them about the Foxwood strings. I ordered a set and strung then on a all Honduran Mahogany Breedlove concert. When I got the new strings in tune, I leave them hanging on the stand for 24 hours so the guitar and the strings get to know one another. Right before I was going to get the guitar out and try the new strings, I watched your video. I absolutely love these strings. They just sing from top to bottom. I am curious to see how long they last. I have very acidic skin so coated strings tend to degrade after a month or so. Thanks so much for the video. Very timely.

@samsaxe-taller7145 2 года назад

Would you say that Stringjoy coated strings have a better lifespan than Elixirs or Paradigms? Can you compare the break resistance between Paradigms and the Foxwoods? I am using paradigms right now because I play hard and have broken a number of Elixirs. I'd love to try Stringjoy -- that's my only reservation.

@theonlyrobot 2 года назад

Round cores will also let go of the windings when you wear through them on the frets. I love them, but about 2 weeks of daily play is what I get from them. I've been playing DR Pure Blues, but I've just picked up some Stringjoys for my next change in their nickel over round style.

@BillBurnette 2 года назад

@rzh3443 2 года назад

Just ordered a couple sets of their coated strings. Will “review” them. I really like the John Pearse strings but you have to change them every couple weeks. Nine guitars , no can do. Hey, always good to help the Little guys in the business. Any recommendations for a coated electric string for Fender Tele?

@aardvark77 2 года назад

My only complaint with Stringjoy strings is that the wire wrap sometimes extends too far away from the ball-end of the string. Therefore, the stiff wrapped portion of the string often protrudes above the bridge and seems to decrease the break angle over the saddle. This occurs with my Martins and Taylors. I really like the availability of custom string gauges.

Hey Jeremy…… one more thing that I almost forgot about asking you what do you think of Fender’s new release of 2022 o ok f the George Harrison rosewood telecaster, I had just recently seen it and thought I’d ask you and your opinion…..I think it looks pretty good but not exactly sure about how/what Fender is currently doing about their quality control , if I remember correctly weren’t they having some recent issues just recently in the past about quality control issues ?? Just wanted to see what you thought of the guitar I mentioned? Thanks Buddy !!

@rosewoodsteel6656 2 года назад

I've never liked the sound of coated strings and have used D'Addario for as long as I can remember. Buying in bulk saves a lot of money and it insures a pack of strings is readily available. But, you have me intrigued with Lovejoy's, coated strings, so I'll give them a shot when they are available.

Excited to check out the Foxwoods! The one nice thing with XS, well a couple. 1 is Player Points & that once a year D'Addario does the 999 point XS set. Also, GC regularly has them at 20% off, or you can log in to GC, then go back for a week, and they'll send ya a 20% off that you can use :) That's how I've fed my XS addiction thus far. Have yet to pay more than $14 for a set yet. With that said, I'm hoping to be as blown away or more with the Foxwoods. If they can do 5 months without dying or tarnishing badly then I'll be happy. XS average about 1 to 1.5 hours a day of play time, and they went 5 months before finally dying & not staying in tune. Elixr's went 4 months.

@MashaT22 2 года назад

So just to clarify, the Foxwoods are the new name for the costed strings Jeremy really seems to like and has been testing for a year? I’m only asking because people seem to have been reviewing the strings on their site for several weeks now - maybe Jeremy made this video a while ago? Anyway, just want to make certain we are talking about the same strings. I have preferred the D’addario XT Phosphor Bronze. I tried the XS once courtesy of some samples D’addario offered to me. I definitely like the more balanced sound of the XT’s that get more Bass when I dig into the low E, A, and D. The XS sounded a bit less muddy overall, but it was too bright for my tastes. I actually prefer the coating on the XT’s even though it adds some squealing noise while sliding between notes. I found the XS to be much quieter, but they were a little too slick for my fingers, which sometimes slipped off the sides of the strings. I’ve said that I’d love a string that takes all the things I love about the XT’s with a less muddy/blurred tone while strumming and less squeal like the XS. The next time I need strings (I still have some free packs thanks to reward points, samples, etc.), maybe I’ll give these new StringJoys a go. The price definitely falls between the XT and XS range, and it sounds like they have some added qualities I’ve been hoping for.

@JeremySheppard 2 года назад

Yes, I have had the string lab coated strings for almost a year and have really liked them. They don't feel slippery like elixirs, which sometimes is good, but these still feel very musical like regular guitar strings. They've changed their name to the foxwood from string lab.

@zachhagen7555 2 года назад

How would you compare to daddario nickel bronze? My favorite string, uncoated and age so gracefully

@JeremySheppard 2 года назад

I loooove those. I use them all the time. I go 50/50 usually. They sound different for sure. Sometimes I want strings to die a bit.

@skullheadwater9839 27 дней назад

Those Broadways are supposed to be all nickel. I played DR Blues Pure Nickels for a while. I Liked that when you put them on, they did not sound super bright like a new set of D'Addarios. They sounded great and seemed to retain the good tone longer than the strings I played my whole life which were too bright at first, mellowed to perfection then started to degrade. The problem was that fairly soon the DR Blues, on the wound strings, the windings would wear through at the frets. I would end up with these little sections of string winding that could potentials spin around the core if you weren't careful. Granted I haven't done any real gigging in 10 years or so, I don't feel the need to spend money keeping all of my guitars with fresh strings constantly. I loved that the tone was great, they felt great and seemed to hold on to that tone but the nickel is obviously a softer metal than steel. So, I am back to the multicolor ball end normal D'A XL's. Do the Broadways do this too?

@shawnglass108 2 года назад

Awesome that Stringjoy is going to make coated strings. Depending on the price, I’m sure they’ll sell extremely well. I hope they use a coating that’s similar to the coating Martin uses. Anyone got the scoop? I’m probably not going to pay $20 for a set of strings. That’s completely unreasonable to those of us who like to change our strings out fairly often.

@sdcoffeeroaster Год назад

Just put a set of foxwood phosphor bronze light (12's) strings on a new guitar. Love the tone but they seem to be extremely noisy and squeaky to me. I can't do slides anymore because when I initialize the slide there a horrible creak or squeak as my fingers break away. They just feel like there's too much initial friction and it's all string not the fretboard. Yes I can employ a complete lift all the time but these are so much more annoying and noisy than my Elixir strings which don't require me to be extra careful. I'm trying to see if they quiet down with more playing but an A to B test to Elixir nanoweb and especially polyweb strings tells me these coated strings are a bit more sticky and rougher sounding. I really wanted to love these strings but getting close to cutting my losses. Wondering if maybe I got a bad set or something.

@nickweaver3343 Год назад

Jeremy, old video so not sure if you are still reading, but I just put a set of the foxwoods on my FG3. The good, my FG3 finally found some strings it likes and that made it sound good all over the whole fretboard. Really good actually. The negative, and Im not sure if it was just my set, or if they are all like these, but these took about a week of hard playing 2+ hours every day for them to settle down and to hold a tune well. I even tried to stretch them a bit it was so bad at first. Now that they have settled in they are probably the best strings I have ever had on this guitar. They are very, um, lively strings I guess is the best way I could put it. I love the feel of them. Not unstable/slick like the elixers Ive tried in the past. Not quite natural feeling either. A good blend between a natural and coated feel.

@Big_Dumb_Animal 2 года назад

I moved to Stringjoy for my acoustics (from Elixir Nanowebs) because I play fingerstyle and my wound G string (F# - Open D) always got micro-frayed and died long before the rest. I like Stringjoys because they are uncoated.

I got some Stringjoy lights based on your last review. I was not impressed because one set had a G string break between the nut and 1st fret while tuning the first time. Another set had a B string break on/ at the ball while tuning. One string broke in 2 sets of 4 sets bought. I hadn't broken a string in over 40 years, and 2 broke while changing strings? Not good, even if they sounded good. I emailed them and no response. Had some problems making the order. I have ordered some of the new coated strings. But if any more of them break putting them on, I won't try again.

@CristiNeagu Год назад

That does not sound right at all... Stringjoy are pretty good with emails. I changed my mind about a set of custom strings and they were more than glad to amend the order with my request.

@jjwunderlin5694 6 месяцев назад

I had a somewhat similar experience. Custom ordered bass strings (no gauges terribly unusual). Put them on and they sounded great. I needed to make a slight neck adjustment so I had to slightly detune to remove the truss cover. When I tuned back up, *two* of the bass strings broke. I emailed and did get a response back, but it wasn’t a positive one. Essentially, they had never heard of this happening and I must have been doing something wrong. Um, no.

Hey Jeremy…… I’m so glad that you actually brought up the STRINGJOY brand, ever since the very first time I heard you mention them I have periodically checked in on the prices and yes I’m right there along with you in thinking that they are way more expensive than what I currently use…. And yes I am a huge huge buyer/fan of the Ernie Ball brand and have only ever used their strings and I have also tried many different options and currently I use the RPS 8 reinforced plain strings on my acoustic and they are custom gauge from 8,11,14,22,30,38 and prior to using those I used to use the same exact brand but in the RPS 9 ……..I’ve also used in the past the Earthwood 80/20 bronze and I really liked those but ended up moving to the RPS basically just to get the smaller gauge which as a beginner has always felt better and easier on my fingers….but anyways I’m glad that you decided to touch base on the topic of the STRINGJOY brand and how they are average about3 times the price of what I normally buy and use !!!!
