DR Strings Tite-Fit TF8-11

These strings are one of the only options out there for 8-string guitars with a longer than 27" scale length, and are very good value economically.

They do last fairly long, but tend to sound 'dead' after about a month of fairly infrequent abuse, although GHS fast fret really does wonders to keep them 'alive'. If you like to always have 'fresh' strings, you'll likely need to change sets every two weeks or so, but you should do that anyway, right?

One of the pros/cons of this set is that these strings sound bright and have a large, albeit somewhat 'tinny' resonance on the treble side.

Nice crisp initial response when using aggressive pick attack, palm mutes on the bass side sound tight and focused, and clean tones ring out nicely with subdued natural harmonics still flavoring the sound.

They are great for clean playing as well as metal riffing/djenting (there's a reason the boys from Meshuggah have used this brand for ages).

Dessa strängar är helt underbara, bra ljud, lätt att spela på och tar lång tid innan de börjar korrodera.

Har använt dessa för att spela mer metal liknande låtar och de har varit underbara med rent ljud.

Höga E-strängen dog ganska snabbt, men resten har nu hållt i 4-5 månader under mild användning.

Spetsen på .80 strängen är lite väl kort för min 8strängade Ibanez, så man får bara lite utav strängen igenom tunern, vilket gör att man får onödigt mycket kvar av strängen vid headstocken, är bara fult men fungerar så klart fortfarande och kan enkelt lösas med en borr om man inte är lat, som jag är.

Så kort sagt, jag är nöjd med dessa strängar.

great strings, but they were sadly too short for me. I play an Agile Septor 830 with the reverse headstock, so my low F# string needs to be really long, sadly these were just about an inch too short! I strung my top 6 with them and used the older bottom strings. They were great for that though! Reasonably balanced tension across the fretboard and a round tone. MILES BETTER THAN EARNIE BALL.
EB have horrific tension across the fretboard and corrode easily. I'd take these any day of the week if I used a normal 8 string.
The tone of these is Great for rock, but possibly not for Djent.
That said, you can Djent them, you just have to work the EQ settings out properly and live with a little less attack than you would otherwise have from a Hex core set of strings.
Personally, I'm going to wait and hope that Elixr or Cleartone bring out an 8 string set in sensible gauges. However I would use these if I played a shorter 8 string, like Schecter or Ibanez.
