## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it low in sugar?**
A: Yes, sugar-free in fact. You could always sprinkle some on though if that's your preference.

**Q: Will these work on a Gibson Les Paul Special II?**
A: Short answer, yes. They will work on most guitars, provided they are the proper scale length. The high e is prone to snapping without much effort. Mine snapped after 2 weeks of regular use whilst loosening them up for guitar maintenance. Still good value though.

**Q: Do they play ok in C# standard?**
A: Yes they play fine in most tunings above standard A

**Q: I restrung my guitar with these strings (they are the right gauge for the guitar) but now all the frets are a semitone out of tune. Any way to fix?**
A: Make sure your intonation is set correctly.  To check intonation, fret string at twelfth fret then do open harmonic at same fret. They should sound the same.if sharp or flat then adjust bridge saddle.
