High tension rounds?
Sign in to disble this ad
Hey, I've been looking for a new set of strings, and I'm looking for rounds that are very stiff. But, I still need them to be reasonably bright...

are you playing on low tunings?
Lo Riders are higher tension compared to their high beams/sunbeams counterpart
I never tried high tension though afraid it would be too much for the neck
