My friend Sid Hudson introduced me to his Live Steel Strings years ago and this is the only string set I have used since. They are the best in my opinion. Just changed them since I have some time on my hands. Was wondering who is still using them.

I settled on them when Jagwire's became hard to get. They do a good job.

The best tone I've ever gotten out of that high G# string, is with the Live Steel Strings. Very Happy

I've been using Live Steel Strings for several years now. I find them to be reliable and long lasting. As long as they keep making them, I'll use them. I'm very satisfied with them and their service is top notch.

I love Live Steels for plain strings and have been using them for years but I use GHS boomers ( “dynamite alloy” whatever that means) for the wounds. Sure makes the string changes expensive though 👎🏽

I bought a set (E9th and C6th) one time to support the forum. The sets I bought were supposed to be Stainless steel (wound) but they sounded like nickel. I questioned Sid about them and got a wise ass answer. I took them off and threw them away. Went back to George L's (stainless).

Love 'em. I much prefer the nickel sound over the harshness of stainless myself, and the Live sets just deliver excellent tone and intonation.

I use them too.

Since I have 2 identical guitars,(MSA Millenniums,)I got one set of SS strings and one set of nickle, so I could compare them.

Listening to them side by side, I could hear a slight difference. The SS strings seemed a tad brighter, and the nickle bit more mellow. But on a scale of 1 to 10, the difference was 9.9 vs 10.1. If I was not able to compare them, I'd not be able to say which was which.

Mike,
I bought a couple of new Williams guitars from Bill and when I started to play them I was rather disattisfied with the tone.
I called Bill and asked him if he put stainless strings on his guitars. He said, yes, they were stainless.
I put on nickel strings and got the tone I was looking for. Very Happy

Erv, perhaps the Millies have their own characteristics that override the differences in the strings. A wood guitar might be more sensitive to this.

The carbon fiber Millenniums are wonderful guitars, but they are not like wood ones. Whee I got my first one, I still had the green guitar shown in my avatar. U compared then unplugged, and they sounded totally different from each other.

I've been using these strings since the beginning and wouldn't want to use anything else.

They're the only strings I've used for the last 5 years. They last a long time without breakage, and the service has always been outstanding.

I have been using the live steel strings since I met Sid and his Dad at a steel jam in Clayton,NC several years ago. I love the feel, longevity, and service! Appreciate Sid sharing these strings with us and his family! Great people and Company! Thanks for all you do for steel guitar players!!

I use NXYL Nickel Wound. I did learn years ago that using stainless steel strings on a guitar with metal necks was not a good idea. To bright of a tone.
