## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it djent?**
A: These strings will djent my friend!

**Q: Is the 74 tapered? I have locking tuners**
A: I believe so - they had no problem fitting in the tuners for my 6-string guitar. HOWEVER, I would greatly recommend thicker strings - particularly if you have a longer-scale guitar. I'm currently rocking a .10-.90 set on my 8 string and the difference is incredible. Many people would have you believe that you need expensive active pickups to get a good sound; but with a thick enough set handling the bass register, all the wimpiness I was experiencing is gone.Check out www.stringjoy.com

**Q: Do these strings fit an Ibanez RG9?**
A: Yep.

**Q: What's the string length?**
A: Around 35 to 36 inches in length
