Dunlop Rob Trujillo 5er Set.

Just got them, have to say, their the oddest set of strings I've ever tried.

Steel EADG, with tapers on the EAD, and a Non Taperd Nickle Plated Steel B.

Suprisingly, the nickle B matches well with the steels.

Bright highs, snarly, growly lows, yet even throughout the range, feel nicer than most steels. Great tension, even from the odd guages, 45, 63, 80, 100, 130.

The tapered E and A have given me trouble already, if I play above the 12th on the E, I get a terrible warbley tone, and about the 16-18th area on the A, kinda sucks. Wolf tones, I think...

Anyway, there's my early impressions, FWIW.

Fantastic tone though, only for the E and A trouble, I'd be buying a few more sets.


I tried the four string set once before, when they first came out, I was given a set free, as a trial run, and got the same problems, but they were the only strings in stock.

 

Yup, odd, and the B is nickle, the rest steel.

I thought it'd be too light, but it works.

Only a little taper, but its there, odd to say the least.

The Dunlop nickle plated's are some of my very fave strings, regardless of price, them and Optimas, or DR's.

Exactly my sentiments, only for that, they are incredible.

I'm leaving them on for now, and bringing them into the shop in a day or two, so they can see for themselves, as they gave them to me n/c until I checked if they'd work for me, as they weren't what I asked for.

 

Suprisingly, it actually cancels the difference, they matched up beautifully, but the steel strings die faster, so you got four dead steels, and one still good nickle.

 

Ah, sorry 'bout that, the G is absaloutly great, fine bright, yet full tone, no wavering too, as its not tapered.
