D'Addario EPS540 ProSteels Light Top/Heavy Bottom Electric Guitar Strings

The strings are good, im not sure if i just got used to the feel of my NYXLs but the pro steels seem to feel pretty rough from the 6,5 and 4th string. String number 1 which is the thinnest E string seem to go out of tune alot as well as String number 3 which is the G String. I dont have any intonation issues that i know of on my Fender but it kept going out of tune even after stretching them out. I did finally get them to stay in tune but the E string number 1 sure felt like it would pop if i kept turning the dial to tune it right. I used my new Line 6 POD GO to tune it. I bought 2 pairs but i think i might just go back to my Medium Size NYXL Strings. Dont get me wrong they sound great for Power Chords with a Distortion Pedal but i felt the first 3 strings were a bit lower in volume output vs my Straight Medium size NYXL strings ive always used. However for the price, its ok i just wouldn't purchase them again, its just preference when it comes to sound.

Where are you reading that these are coated? They are not. I switched to these after discovering that I am allergic to nickel...no more problems.

These coated strings are the most long-lasting and tone-sustaining strings I've used. They're great for when you are always changing tunings (especially from high to low). The higher strings may not be as bright but they retain a more consistant sustain throughout the life of the string than normally uncoated strings. The best thing about them is the thick, rich rounded tone you get when playing lower registers and rhythm parts. They also dont need to be struck as hard to get a fuller sound.
