I, as I'm quite sure many of you are, am a huge fan of the Spaceman. So, when finding out that GIBSON was producing Aces' signature gauge strings, I decided to give them a try. First thing I noticed (after stringing them up on my Les Paul) was their tone, of course. Very bright. Extremely bright. Not a bad thing. But, for me anyway, my D'addario 9-42 Super Lights have a better feel. More depth. A nicer, smoother feel on my fingers in general. Very easy to bend and manipulate notes. These Gibson's are not bad...Just not very well suited for every player. Don't buy these just because Frehley's picture is on the box.
