They are good strings. Not too bright, not too dark. Long lasting. But, I haven't used them for a while. I've been experimenting lately. I should whoop out a few packs and see how they compare to what I've been fiddling with lately!

Lube the bullet ends for better tuning stability (I use Nut Sauce), and they might need a little extra push with an allen key to get back out if you use your whammy bar a lot like I do and don't lube them, a few strings did get stuck without lube.

lately I don't use the tremolo bar... I think I need to change the tuners because it goes out of tune easy when I use the tremolo :?

Make sure the tuners are snug. Lube the saddles, nut, trem screws and trem plate screw holes, and string tree(s) with nut sauce. Do the setup as per Fender instructions to float the bridge. Stretch the poop out of each string until it stabilizes. Adjust the nut or have somebody adjust the nut for you if all that don't work and you hear pinging or creaking when you tune a string. If all that don't work, then yes, change the tuners. On the outside chance, you could have a string tree or saddle that's got a bur or defect.

Here's two vids. One for putting on strings on so they don't slip at the tuners, one for fine tuning the trem:

They hold up pretty good, better than most strings.
