    • They are ok not a big fan tho they have a odd metal sound when you play them

    • Great sound, great look.
    • Tension, stretching, and deformation exacerbate this condition, which is why even coated strings that are never played become dull and dead-sounding after a couple months of sitting on a guitar, compared to an identical set sitting in its package
    • Use 9's for a brighter sound
    • I play a lot of Blues, but also enjoy harder sounds as well.
    • It's a nice sound that some will prefer and others won't
    • The 11's were tough at first as I am just learning to play the guitar, but my fingers quickly got used to playing them and I think the sound they offer is much better than a set of comparable 9's.

    • I find these to be nice sounding in a way, but they do hurt the ability to smoothly play and if you are doing finger style, the thumb versus finger plucked strings are unbalanced even worse than normal
    • A new string job usually brings life back into a dead sounding guitar, but these strings in particular accentuated each note so much better than I've heard in the past
