| I got some sets of these strings from Amazon. Anybody tried them or have a comment. My thought is they seem to be sub optimal. Not as bright or clear harmonics and seem to die in a short time. I really dont know the story behind them comments? |

Funny you should mention. I have a box of them from B0b, and I just put new ones on last night ! I have not made a sound comparison in years. I liked their sealed packaging preventing oxidation that I once experienced, for example, with some Jagwires, and GHS, wrapped in paper envelopes without a seal. The sound was not noticeably different to my non-expert ears when I used to use Jagwires. SIT is a well known brand, and standard on certain newly manufactured guitars. I buy them by the box as they have been satisfactory and reliable, never broke one yet, etc; but I have not done sound comparisons lately either, so maybe its time to shop around.

I have been using them several years,no complaints.
Maybe some subtle EQ adjustments may sweeten them up to your liking. |

| I have used SIT strings for over 30 years with no problems. Did you get SS or Nickel? I prefer the nickel but some folks use stainless steel. They have both as Emmons gauges. I have them on 8 different pedal steels and several lap steels. |

They’re the best strings available for pedal steel. And Amazon ain’t blowin em out, go to the SIT website…..E9th strings are 8.99 plus free shipping there. Amazon has them for 13.49
SIT is also where all the Scotty’s non pedal string sets are now. |

I have used SIT 12 Universal strings Since about 2017. I had used another brand for years and see or hear no difference.
I have ordered them from Just Strings since I went to 12 string.
I had a problem a few months ago I ordered 6 sets of U12 from Just Strings. 3 of the sealed packs was short the 3rd string in them. I contacted SIT direct by an E-mail. and informed them of the problem. They sent me a E-mail thanking me for contacting them and wanted my address. A few days later a package was in my mail box. When I opened it, They sent me 3 .011 strings and a full set of 12 U nickel strings. Can't beat that. |
