I can't go to another string set now that I've "been experienced". Thanks Dennis and thank you to the Hudson family for providing a great product. I'm going to have to try these on my Telecasters.

Daniel, I think what you will experience on the Tele is a little more effort will be needed in your string bends.

This is due to the fact that the core wire is stronger and the tensile strength is higher in Live Steel strings.

The payoff is a thicker and punchier sounding mid range.

Ah, that's good to know, Sid. I often tune down 1/2 step, so that may help compensate for bends . I like messing with string gauges and the effects on chord voicings, so I look forward to what the mid-range might bring. Thanks!

I just put a new set of strings on my guitar. I got to thinking of how often I use to change strings as compared to the last few years since I've been using "LIVE STEELS". When I first started doing sessions full time, I would actually change strings sometimes (3) times a week! After a few days they would lose their sustain and I'd start to fight tuning. Now, I pretty much change The LIVE STEELS once every two weeks! I've been touring some with REBA, and I change the strings on that guitar maybe once a month. And better yet, they sound better than any other string I have ever used.

If you guys haven't tried them, I urge you to put a set of LIVE STEEL STRINGS on your guitar. I have really enjoyed using them

Sid,

Maybe you could stamp a date code (Born on) on the packages? Yeah, a little more work but would help QC if you expand. Might make your wife a millionaire!!

Maybe we could just adopt them instead of buying them, celebrate their birthday

I just bought my first set of strings and in the process of installation I broke 2 of them. I called live steel and told them what happened and they sent replacements without me asking. That is great service! I did not have any sustain with my original set of strings and these have brought my guitar back to life. THANKS,I will be purchasing more.

Buddy sent me this clip a few years ago and I forgot I had it.

Enjoy!

Have you tried calling?

Steve Riddle · Post by **Steve Riddle** » 25 Mar 2016 6:13 am

I ordered 3 sets on Monday and received them Wednesday. I did have to Google "Live Steel Strings Store" to find the link to the store.

The website does seem a bit clunky but my strings were delivered quickly, and I got a free CD ! I found the stainless strings to be a bit too bright at first but they sound just right now

Just put on my first set and I really like them a lot ! And thanks Sid for the great CD ! Nice mix of tunes !

I just ordered the crygenic E9N sets for 4 of my pedal steels and a reg set designed specifically for my Hudson Bengal S8.
Got 2 T-shirts too!
Can't wait to use them.

For those with recent difficulty in online ordering, I've an update.
They're a charmingly retro outfit and only one person processes the Internet orders, and she's been out sick. She should be back today.
Foreigners, have patience.
Americans, pick up the phone.

thank you Lane! Appreciate you looking out for us.

Lane Gray · Post by **Lane Gray** » 7 Apr 2016 10:16 am

No problem, Sid. Harry shot me a FB message asking if there were problems, and so I picked up the phone...

Sid Hudson · Post by **Sid Hudson** » 5 Aug 2016 5:44 pm

A fresh batch of cryo strings just completed. You will not believe how long the strings last!

Hell, if I could get strings for a nickel I'd use them.

Mike, are you using them on your Franklin?
