I bought a pack by mistake. I wished to buy the regulars and didn't read the description right, thank God. When I heard about these I thought it was a great idea to have the comfort of the bends between strings beig much more similar, especially with the G which tends to feel a lot loser. So I stringed my guitar, a Les, and strummed away without seting it up first. They feel great under your fingers both strumming and in lead work. They truly feel "balanced" on your left hand and makes bends feel a lot more similar between strings. It also improves picking. Since the tensions are fixed to be similar they also do when you pick the string. Tone: same great standard nickel plated steel balanced tone. In the future I'd like to see these EXP Coated.

I can't quite explain why, exactly, that these are my new favorite. I have a set of Ernie Ball cobalts on one of my guitars and now, after playing the balanced tensions, The E.B.'s just don't sound or feel right. I like the Ernie Ball cobalts but, the balanced tensions sound, feel, strum, and bend like a guitar string was meant to do. If guitar strings were a disease, these are the cure! Everybody likes what they like, it's about personal preference, playing style etc. But, I encourage you to pick up a set of these and give them a shot. For me, they are like putting on a pair of old, worn in but not worn out boots. They just fit perfect.

These are great strings. There doesn't seem to be anything that's a whole lot special about them but they certainly do their job well. I put them on my strat last week and perform as well if not better than any other strings I've had on. They are thicker than the nines I had on them before and I think I like that better, I feel like I'm getting more tone from them than the elixers I had on my guitar last(Although they probably won't last as long). Overall great strings. Keep up the great work D'addario.
