Stringjoy Medium Gauge (50-105) 4 String Long Scale Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings
Best strings I have ever bought! The quality, the tone, the durability is head and shoulders above any other strings I have ever bought. I won't use any other strings from now on...

Stringjoy Signatures | Balanced Light Gauge (10-48) Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings
Just received my first set of StringJoys the other day. These strings were much clearer than the strings I have been using on all of my other guitars. Not only was the feel more consistent, but the actual sonic balance across the strings was much more even, I could tell the difference before I plugged the guitar into an amplifier. The service was very good as well. I received my strings only a couple of days after I ordered them. I'll definitely being ordering from these guys again!

Stringjoy Naturals | Light Gauge (12-54) Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings
The best Acoustic Strings I have ever used. The tone and feel from these strings are great. They are clear, balanced, hold tune better than anything I've used before, and the lifespan of these strings are great. Very pleased with these strings and will only be playing Stringjoy strings on my guitars! A huge thumbs up on these!

Just recently decided to give these guys a try and am thoroughly impressed! The service is on point and friendly, you can customize your set, and the strings sound great. They moreorless balance out to be the same price as what i was paying for strings, but the price of shipping to Canada makes it a touch more expensive. Regardless, I'm sticking with these!

Stringjoy Naturals | Light Gauge (12-54) Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings
Stringjoy's Natural Bronze strings are a version of Phosphor Bronze strings that have a clear but balanced voice without the occasional harsh crashy treble that 80/20 strings often exhibit. Very bright fresh out of the pack, they calm down within an hour and then sound great. Easy to play as well, at least on my 25.5" scale Epiphone slope shouldered dreadnought. Hold tune even when bending up above a half step. Impressive.

No joke! These strings do feel so much better than anything else. They also seem to retain that snap and new string feeling much longer.

Stringjoy Signatures | 8 String Heavy Bottom Medium Gauge (11-90) Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings
As always StringJoy strings are perfect. This is by far my favorite set. The .090 is so much easier to keep in tune and you can get that nice growl out of it since it doesn't sound muddy like light strings. Even sounds great with a Fuzz. I've tried many different sets, brands and gauges, even custom sets. I do a lot of bending because I play mostly blues (yeah blues on an 8 string, crazy!) and I always had problems with the 1st string breaking (over my finger, not the nut or bridge) when bending above the 7th fret because of the 28" scale on my Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid C-8, and it was tough as heck to hit a full step bend, so I went lighter and lighter till I had 8's... just not the tone I wanted and the lighter strings wear out too fast so I was breaking them or stretching them to the point of severe fatigue anyway. I play 12 - 60's on my 6 strings so I was used to that big tone (Also StringJoy). Once I switched to StringJoys, that problem ended. I could bend with no problem. No early fatigue and I could hit those full step bends above the 7th fret easy. I started with 9's then 10's now 11's... now that I am used to those, I might try 12's. Just love that big tone from heavy strings. I can see why Stevie Ray played with heavy strings. Great tone, incredible durability and amazing flexibility without having to re-tune every 15 minutes. By the way, I tune my 8 string 1/2 step down, that 90 on the 8th is a must especially if your scale is shorter than 28" F-Bb-Eb-G#-C#-F#-Bb-Eb I've tuned it down to E before, but it feels weird... Might work better with 13's. I almost would like to try 13 set with a 100 on the 8th. ;)

General review for Stringjoy:

These strings are amazing. My personal favorites by quite a large margin. The low .080 stays nice and fresh sounding for longer than any other brand I tried purchasing from, which is a huge deal to me. I always wondered what the issue with my guitar was, and now I'm thinking it was mostly just the strings. These are also cheaper, and offer free shipping. All sets are also completely customisable. I recommend Stringjoy to anybody that seeks string advice, and all my friends that play guitar. Good job, keep it up, proud of you.

I pretty much exclusively play custom sets from Stringjoy but these are the one exception. They're just like a typical Light set, but evened out. And that .048 on bottom makes a big difference, no more do I have a floppy unbalanced low E string, and my guitar has never sounded as good.

I never would have guess what a difference a custom set of strings could make for me. Once I dialed in the right setup, it was night and day. Thanks for all you do, Stringjoy-ers.

Stringjoy Signatures | Custom 6 String Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings
i just strung 4 out of 5 of my instruments with various sized Stringjoy strings and im very satisfied. Normally buying strings for me is a huge pain in the tailstock and i often let my strings go dead and get really worn out simply because i dont wanna spend a week trying to find a compromise for my strings. since i play a lot of different genres, my favorite being heavy metal...i have keep a guitar tuned to drop A, Open B, Drop C, D standard, a bass in low A and a bass in Drop C so i never encounter a song i cant play on one instrument or another. the problem is that finding strings for all those is near impossible. no other brands seem to grasp what drop-tuning means. The "heavy metal" gauge of most brands is usually an anemic little 60-11 pack that doesn't compensate for that dropped low string being a step lower than the rest. bass stings are always horribly unbalanced and you end up with either floppy low end and a comfortable high end or a mediocre snug low end and the highs are to tight you can cut cheese. you end up buying 2 sets of bass strings for each bass, mixing and matching to get a beefy, even tension across the instrument. for my electric guitars i always had to buy a pack of lights, throw away the 9 and bump them down a slot, buy a pack of bass strings or rob one off the spares from my bass packs to artificially make a super-heavy balanced set for my low tuning. its irritating to have to buy ten packs of strings to string 5 instruments and have a chart on what to string where. its always a week-long event that i dreaded. i was very happy to find Kalium brand who offered the "make your own custom set" until i clicked "checkout". long story short: had to re-order it 4 times, and i had to write 2 very angry letters just to get my strings 2 weeks late and when i put them on...super disappointed. nothing was what i paid for. I did the same exact order with Stringjoy...10 times easier to order, got here on time, no unexpected tapering or undersized strings. exactly what i paid for, no compromises, no hassle, no disappointment. great sound, balanced tension, correct scale and i am never going back to mix-matching packs or driving to 5 different stores. this is the best experience i have ever had stringing my collection and i ended up saving a lot of money. for custom tuning: Stringjoy is by far the best rout to getting what you need. 4 of my 5 instruments will be exclusively running Stringjoy strings and the only reason its not 5/5 is because Martin makes a custom set for standard D that sounds exactly like Asking Alexandria's lead guitar and i buy those when they go on sale. i am considering even switching that next round just for the convenience of it all. i'm rating string-joy 9.9 out of possible 10, and i am a perfectionist to the point of ridiculousness. im debating on what to put the stickers on, first time i ever got string-brand stickers i didnt just immediately throw away.

Stringjoy Custom 4 String Long Scale Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings
I play very heavy tension and always hated how string brands seem to make the low strings too weak and the high strings too tight so ive been buying lights and Extra heavies and mixing them to get a compromised custom set (or buying 5 string lights and throwing the middle string aside). Finally ordered a custom set of 118's from Kalium strings and spent almost 3 weeks trying to get my order cuz the lost it TWICE. when i finally got them...the brass nut-end was freaking necked down to 70 a good 2 inches from the end. i measured the string and it wasn't even a 118, it was a 114. the whole point of getting a 118 was for heavy tension and it was weaker than the 110's i normally got. they never made it right, never sent me what i wanted (which needed to be a 125 or something to compensate for the skinny part) and i was livid. i ordered the same exact thing from Stringjoy but with a 115 cuz i rounded down...easy ordering, no problems, came in the mail on time. my 115 was 115 from the bridge to beyond the headstock nut and it was snug enough to have zero rattle or flop even drop-tuned a step down. nice tone, good clean treble clarity (which you need in a 115 ). In retrospect, i should have maybe gone to a 120 on the top...but that was entirely my miscalculation and Stringjoy was not to blame. they sent me what i asked for and with no complications and now my bass sounds great, ittle sound even better next time i need bass strings and go heavier. im buying my strings here from now on. Definitely gonna go 120, 85, 55 40 for a little more power when i tune to D. im considering 140's for my 5 string as well but not until i wear out the 135's i just got. that custom string thing is perfect for my baritones as well. you can NOT seem get balanced baritone strings anywhere else.

These strings are so crisp and fresh it's hard to handle. If you wanna improve your tone and make those pickups pop and squeel, then buy these damn strings.

Stringjoy Signatures | 7 String Heavy Bottom Super Light Gauge (9-60) Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings
Awesome strings. I have a PRS SE 7 (25" scale), and the stock B string was about as tense as a wet spaghetti noodle, especially in Drop-A. Ordered these strings and problem solved! The .062 gauge works great for the PRS scale length, and as a set, these are the most resonant, best feeling and playing strings I've ever used.

These really are good strings. Good feel, good tone, and they have nice longevity, which is always a plus. I bought a few packs a couple weeks ago to try since I use a custom gauge anyway and this seemed like a really convenient way to order some. So far, they play and sound just as good (if not better) than the strings I was using previously. The only reason that I give these a less than perfect score is because I had a few of the high E strings come unwound from the ball end during installation. I always have a bunch of various strings laying around, so it was no big deal. Despite that though, I would certainly order more sets, can't beat the convenience, and the bulk discounts and free shipping are also big pluses!

Stringjoy Signatures | 7 String Heavy Bottom Heavy Gauge (12-72) Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings
I was looking for strings for my 7 string guitar and i couldn't find anything heavier than a .11 anywhere. I found this website on google and saw that they offered custom sets so I had to try them. I went with the heavy 12 set first to see how I would like that thick of a string. The packaging they came in was very nice. They package their strings in twos similar to dimarzio. I really liked the personalized thank you card that came with. You don't see loyalty to customers like that anymore. Stringing my guitar was a breeze. Once they were tuned up I noticed right away how bright they were. I love bright strings. The wound strings weren't too abrasive in my opinion, with the exception of the 7th string, but I expected that from a .070 gauge string. Well, its been two weeks since installing these strings and they are still bright and smooth. I'm terrible when it comes to string care and maintenance so I am impressed these strings managed to stay so clean thus far. Overall, I'm very impressed and will continue to buy my strings from these guys.
