the carbon trebles are almost the same in all brand.
With all respect I have to disagree here.
My Castillo blanca loves carbon trebles, so I've tried some of them, and I have to say, that there's a huge difference between let's say Galli's carbon vs. D'addario's titanium trebles.
Other than that my favourite so far are the Oasis gpx carbons, that's a little expensive, but kick ass!

It's normal,the daddario are not carbon strings...
But there are not huge difference between let's say galli's carbon,alliance trebles,carbon line trebles,dr junger trebles,hense trebles....and all the carbon trebles.
RE: new strings luthier (in reply to el carbonero)
well...not on my guitar. There ARE differences. At first let's start with that neither are carbon.... but there are variations in the material: most of them are made of PVF (Polyvinil Fluorid), but for example the Oasis gpx are made of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)....anyway I don't group these strings by the material, but the sound type...and the D'addario titanium trebles are close to the group I consider as carbon, so are Hannabach's tytanils. I haven't tried dr.junger type as they're way too expensive, but all the mainstream brands... what's Your opinion on the junger set? Is it worth the money?
RE: new strings luthier (in reply to el carbonero)
I have been doing some string comparisions lately and I just restrung my Culpepper with Luthier 20 w/Super Carbon Trebs. I was frustrated with the lack of brillance I was getting with D'Addario trebs so I figured I would try the Luthier Super Carbon trebs. I had LaBella 820 Reds on before the D'addarios and they sounded real nice as well but I thought I would try an experiment and I think I like the sound of the Luthier trebs better. They are a bit thinner than both the LaBella's and D'Addario's so that may cause some issues if you don't like that feel. They seemed a bit more difficult to tie on due to being thin but they sound really, really nice on my instrument. I think I still prefer the sound and feel of the LaBella 820 basses, time will tell how the Luthier basses hold up... Sig--
