Stringjoy Orbiters Demo: Can You Tell They're Coated?

- How do Stringjoy Orbiters Coated Electric Guitar Strings compare with their uncoated counterparts, Stringjoy Signatures? We put them to the test so you can decide for yourself.
TRY ORBITERS: stringjoy.com/shop/strings/el...
We created Stringjoy Orbiters top serve as a coated string for people who don't like coated strings. They have a largely natural, uncoated feel, with even a touch MORE brightness than uncoated strings (a first in the world of coated strings). We hope you're into 'em, and if not remember-not everybody NEEDS coated guitar strings, we just want to offer something awesome for those folks who do.

It’s good to see Scott on the channel again!
Gotta say, after hearing how they’re made, I think “Orbiter” is a very clever name.
I’ve been playing them last month and love them, and I played Elixirs for years. Don’t stop making them please!
Sweet! I figured these would be coming soon! I do suffer from acidic sweat, (working on getting in under control with proper hydration and diet) and elixirs seem to be the only ones that last for me. So excited to have a coated set of 9.5s!
Great just what I was waiting for!
Excellent, been looking forward to a coated option! Just ordered a couple sets to try out.
Excited to try some when they become available for 7 string guitars
Feels like an episode of how it’s made. Love it
If I didn't just get a couple sets of Broadways, I'd be ordering these. Can't wait to try them.
The Broadways are awesome as well!
@@Stringjoy
I completely agree.
Been waiting for this, but I need my .018w wound G, PLEASE!
Would love the option to get custom sets with these strings.
I'd love to see these get made for Bass VI too!
Never had a pair of strings that made me want to play in a clean tone before. These Broadway string have been Fucking awesome 👌 👏 😎 thank you sirs and maybe possibly some madames!!!!!
We've got some sirs and some madams! Thanks for the kind words, I'll pas it along!
This might not be the best way to reach out to your company, but I’m going give it a try.
I own a vintage 1957 Fender Electric Mandolin. I’m looking for a vintage correct set of strings for it. I use your Broadway strings on my electric guitars and I think they would be great for the mandolin. However, I’m having trouble determining what string gauge these mandolins used, and similar modern instruments have quite a variance depending on the instrument manufacturer.
Just put a Husky Super Light Set on G&l S-500, since I was interested on how they would react with the Jumbo MFD pups.
Definitely not disappointed.
Glad to hear it!
Which did you prefer?
Loved you on the @Wampler Chasing Tone podcast. I knew Big Nickel was against us all. I was about to buy some herbal tone supplements and will try these instead.
I saw that the orbiters are not available in the string tension calculator. Is that an oversight or is it not possible to create custom string sets with them?
Presently we're not selling them as custom sets (we will add this eventually) but tension-wise, they are nearly identical to the Signatures.
Will these be available in custom sets?
Eventually, yes!
Flatwounds/Groundwounds next?
Do these feel more like uncoated or coated strings? I'm asking because I do actually greatly prefer the feel of coated strings, but many new coated strings are advertised as feeling like uncoated, as if that's inherently a good thing.
Hi Victor! These will be in the camp of coated strings that feel more like uncoated strings. If you prefer the feeling of more thickly coated strings (and there's nothing wrong with that), Elixir is pretty much the only game in town for that.
@@Stringjoy OK, thanks for clarification. I like Elixir-style coating because it makes sliding very easy and free of scratching noises. Manufacturers tend to emphasize corrosion resistance as the main selling point, but I actually don't care about that too much since my hands basically don't sweat and even normal strings last for a long time. So for me it's all about getting that slick non-grippy feel.
This! This is what most string companies don’t understand about the whole coated string thing. The Nanoweb’s have that slick feeling where you don’t get that ugly string noise when you change chords or do slides. it’s the feel that coated string players like and everyone tries to get rid of that when they try to “improve” on coated strings. Its not a bug, it’s a feature !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wouldn't you get a similar feel from this coating method when used with (semi-)flatwounds?
I could hear a difference :( I wish I could say I didn't) There is just a sparkle that is missing.
That said, these would work for a number of players I am sure.... and Stringjoy does make the finest strings around!
I think there's more sparkle in the Orbiters personally!
@@Stringjoy Everyone is going to hear them differently, to be sure!
I sill love having sets on my guitars, both Electric and Acoustic
🙏🏻please make stainless steel baritone strings
I just bought the regular strings in bulk of course :(
Are the plain strings coated too?
Negative, we experimented with that but the resulting plains were much too shrill. Fortunately plains do not typically experience tone loss in the same way that wound strings do.
The Orbiters sounded much more Plexi on the dirty channel!
Elixir user here, I think if your gonna coat a string. Do the whole thing, not just the core, Elixir still best in that department. To me I hate that sliding string noise, like Tom Morello soloing on Bulls on parade
We don't coat the core, we coat only the wrap wire, which because of our tight wrapping process forms a protective barrier around the whole string. That said, our process aims to create a coated strings that doesn't feel coated, so for folks that do like the feel of coated strings, a thicker over-top coating like Elixirs is definitely the move.
@@Stringjoy well I’ll eat my words then, I think Martin is the one who wraps the core then? I’ll have to try a set, I’ll order some this weekend
@@dividedbytimestudios how were they?
@@Ramble1234 I haven’t tried them yet, I need to order a set, thanks for reminding me
Nice! I’ve never liked coated strings for electric, but I’d give these a try. The extra brightness was certainly more noticeable on the dirty amp.
Now for a suggestion, we’ll, more of a request… let’s be real, I’m begging you… PLEASE, someday soon, make an all carbon steel electric set, like NYXL’s. I love the brightness and volume of those strings, but I switched to Stringjoy because I love that I can customize the string gauges in my set. Awesome work! Keep it up! 🤘🏼😎
NYXLs aren't all carbon steel (those would be some rusty strings!) They use a carbon steel core wire, but so do we.
Dammit Stringjoy, I don't even use coated strings. I don't like them. They feel like a condom's been vacuum sealed to each string. But I have to try these just because you made them.
Then don't use them lol. You're not forced to.
@@Ramble1234 woah woah woah... relax bro. Apparently you don't have a sense of humor. It's a lighthearted silly post about my loayity to their brand. You took it the wrong way completely. So much so that you actually felt you needed to reply the way you did. You're either very young or very dumb. Hopefully not the latter.
@@BostonWhoFan515 My bad. It's kinda hard to read emotion via texts sometimes lol. Stringjoy is dope tho.
@@BostonWhoFan515 also I wasn't really mad. I guess I was just confused
@@Ramble1234 it's all good, my man. No worries. I understand. 🤘✌️
Host: We’ve released new strings. They’re not my favourites.
Me: okay.
I don't believe that's what was said
@@Stringjoy I agree it’s not what you meant.
I appreciate what people think they're dong with these videos but come on. Can we get back to the world where somebody has the balls to share their opinion and insight? There is no way in hell anyone can hear the difference between these two sting types from a video like this. After the UA-cam compression they're both the same. The only way we can know from a video what the differences are is if you tell us. Tell us what you think from your experience. Tell us what you notice and maybe demonstrate it. Just playing back to back does nothing and anyone who says they can hear the difference is high on their own supply.
1. This is a demo video of a new product performed by one of our staff on our own channel, we try to be fair, but like, maybe this isn't the best place to come for an unbiased opinion? If WE didn't like it, we wouldn't put it out.
2. There is discernibly a tonal difference in the video, but I very much agree, people tend to over-emphasize what things sound like in UA-cam videos-if you want to know what something sounds like, there's no replacement for trying it in-person.
Loved you on the @Wampler Chasing Tone podcast. I knew Big Nickel was against us all. I was about to buy some herbal tone supplements and will try these instead.
