Good product, and thanks the distributor from Chennai.

### ⭐⭐ Not What I Expected: Damaged and Dusty
*by J***Y on 2 April 2025*

I was disappointed with my purchase. The package arrived opened and looked quite worn, while the string itself was dusty. This gave the impression that it had been sitting around for a long time. I had higher expectations for both the quality and presentation of the product.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Quality
*by H***H on 13 February 2023*

Well the performance of the product is too good but strings are not too good when it comes to quality. They're too weak to hold the neck of the guitar
