I have found that the Regular Slinky (yellow) is much easier to tune in Rocksmith vs the Pink Super Slinky strings. This is especially the case with the songs with alternate tuning like Drop D. The pink will often not register notes right. They are a bit harder to bend but I think easier to grab with your fingers.

These are more for playing Metal/Hard Rock songs. If you plan to play that type of genre then these will do fine.

Ok what kind of guitar do you have? An acoustic or an electric? If you have an electric guitar then yes these strings are great.

Sorry to hear of your troubles, but in order for the strings to learn how to keep tune, you will have to continuously tune the strings. It may take a few days until it can hold perfect tune. Mine happen to keep tune within the first couples days. Just like any stringed instrument, the more you use it, the better the sound. Good luck and just be patient

They should but they might not be the right size for drop in replacements so if that's the case I'd have a luthier install them esp. on such a nice guitar. It's possible that the holes could need widened.

I'm sure you could. They should be easy to find in your local music store or on Amazon. The strings that came on my daughters sound just fine, however, they do tend to come out of tune easy. Maybe that's a problem with the tuning keys though. My husband's the guitar expert, not me. lol!

If you enter the traveler guitar website there is a video which shows you how to change the strings. I didn't change my strings yet but it doesn't seen to take very long and the manual recomends which string to use if I'm not wrong.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. These are for an acoustic guitar. You may have to check with a luthier.

They are regular guitar strings That have a color coating. The multi color strings just match the colors used for each string in Rocksmith.

I use them on my accoustc/electric and they work great. There are strings made for strictly electric guitars.

That I can not tell you, but what I can tell you is this. The factory strings are not good at all. Just go ahead & order a set of Ernie ball 2835 extra slinky electric nickel wound bass set (gauge 40-95) and you will be way ahead of the curb

Awwww... That would be a string issue... Probably not a guitar issue. Most people who buy this guitar change out the strings for a better sound. Cheap fix, a coupla bucks.

I don't know what kind of strings they are, but I can tell you that once they get stretched out to hold a tune they actually sound pretty good. I did buy some aquilla's for backups, but I haven't used them yet and I am really enjoying them so far. Had it about a month and a half. Really good quality instrument for the money by the way.

Hi! To tell the truth I didn't use them on the electric guitar. But, if think logical, that strings are made of metal, so they should have a sound :-)

I believe they will. I used them on the low E and A strings on a strat and they work great. Don't see why they wouldn't work on yours. These really help the guitar stay In tune and combine these with a graphtech nut and bends are so much nicer! Hope this helps!

i forgot the brand, but they were clear nylon for a tenor ukulele. if you plan on buying the ukulele, buy a different set of strings and wind them up yourself. strings that come with the ukulele dont stay tuned even if under heavy usage for 2 weeks (had to tune them every 2 or 3 hours). I mean, its expected with new strings that they wont stay in tune on its first time being used, but cmon? two weeks?? yeah, i bought a different set and it worked out fine.

I bought them for a cheap old guitar that was hard to keep tuned. The screw mount holes didn't match so I drilled new. As I said it was an old cheap guitar. For an Alvarez I woud consult a guitar repairman or luthier on what will work. I'd do a return on them if they aren't right.

I do not play, I got this as a gift for my nephew and I did buy him new strings, but I am not certain what kind they were, I will contact him and find out. It sounds great.

I would not characterize these strings as 'really bright'. They are not 'tinny' or metallic sounding. The highs are not over-powering, nor are the lows. These are the only strings that I have used that I feel really let the true 'wood' sing. I recommend a try. Cost is not much, and you will suffer the time in a string change. I have one guitar that I have used silk and steel, by Martin, on it since 1974. I won't use another type. I have a Martin, which is fairly new (6 mos) and have gone through 3 cycles of the recommend strings that came with it. The next change will be with the S&S; strings. I wanna hear how they react to the Indian Rosewood/Sitka combo of my Mrtin. I would not characterize these strings as 'really bright'. They are not 'tinny' or metallic sounding.
