Why S.I.T.?

“I’ve spent years jumping between different string brands, trying to find the perfect strings that can withstand the aggression I like to play with, while holding their tuning and giving me as much life as possible. As soon as a friend turned me onto S.I.T. and I put a set on my Les Paul, I knew there was no turning back. Instantly my guitar felt like it had more life and sustain, and it made me play with a different attitude. I never feel like they’re going to let me down, whatever I throw at them, and I couldn’t be more proud to be an S.I.T. artist. I play the Power Wound Nickel 9-42 set for most projects, but for the heavier stuff I use the Power Wound Nickel 11-56 set.”
