Best Baritone Strings
I own one of the rare Epiphone baritones that was originally made in the early 2000s and after finding these strings they are the only ones that I will ever play on it again. They keep their tuning in tone for extremely long length of time. One of my bandmates actually thought I put a new set of strings on even though these have been on for almost a year.

Fantastic on a Squier Bass VI
Not sure why people seem to be having trouble with these on the SB6. I did replace the vibrato on mine with a fixed plate, not sure if that's making a difference. The outer winding is a little long on the lowest string but not a problem in actual use. Tuned B to B on a 30" scale they make this guitar way more playable than it was off-the-shelf tuned E-E. And the price is just crazy low, $10? Insane. Why a set of 4 bass strings is $20+ when these are less than half is a mystery I can live without solving.

Great, but....
usual ernie ball quality, great tone and tuning stability. Beware though, my baritone is a reverse headstock, and the low B string just BARELY made it to the tuner. If i didnt have locking tuners, it would have never worked. Bear that in mind, if you happen to have a reversed headstock!

Great piano like tone. Good tension at drop A on 24.75
Take the Wallace review with a grain of salt, he seems more interested in validating himself and listing off all his gear than providing a useful review. Though meant for a baritone guitar, these work great on a shorter scale guitar tuned to drop A. You'll need to take your axe down to a guitar tech to have the nut replaced or shimmed (raised by a piece of wood under nut) and also filed in order to take these. On top of that you'll need to tweak the truss rod and bridge. If you've got a good shop in town, it's no big deal. So $25-50 bucks just so you can have your guitar take a set of strings like these or the thickest DR DDT. After stringing these up I plucked the 6th string and it rang load, resonated through the guitar and made me smile as the string resonated in my own chest. Having the 72 is the big difference here, It holds tension better at drop A than say a 65. These can be a bit of a work out as far as playing, but that should go without saying... get used to it. TL;DR I can't provide info for use on a baritone, but if you have a 24.75 scale guitar that you want to dedicate to drop A or B standard, these are spectacular sounding. You'll need to modify your guitar in such a way that keeps you stuck with huge strings unless you want to modify again to get back to standard. Worth it, if you're certain that's where you want to be tuned or you have several guitars and want to dedicate one to this tuning.

Very Good Strings!
Slinky is right. I’ve been a D’Addario loyalist forever including on my Danelectro baritone which have always been stiff playing strings. These are a slightly heavier gauge but are much more suitable. Note: I did have to partially unwind the end of the low B string to get it to fit through the tuner hole.

Might be fine for regular length guitars but not baritones. Weird, since they’re “baritone” strings. Tried two sets. Nope.

Todo ok

Buen output, gran duración. Son cuerdas para afinaciones muy bajas, asegúrense de que son el calibre que NECESITAN, de lo contrario les pasará lo mismo que a las personas de otros reviews. :D

SquierのBassVI用に買いました。 結論から言うと全く問題ありません。 一部レビューでは長さが足りなかったなどありますが、現状ではどの弦もカットが必要な長さはありました。 (確かにカット長さはまちまちだったため、本来は異なるセットの弦をうまく組み合わせているのかもしれません。) とかく素晴らしいのは、まずは20-90と1〜6弦でテンションが揃えられているため捩れが発生し難い点です。他の24-84では1、2弦がテンションが強いため捩れを起こしたり、他方で24-100では現代的には扱いづらい側面があるため、この組み合わせはかなり理想的です。ややブライト感を感じられる一方で全て巻弦のため、コード間に一体感をもたらし、扱いやすいサウンドになったと思います。またゲージが軽いためネックの反り対策にも。 La BellaやFender、D'Addarioが有名ですが、こちらかなりオススメです。
