I'm not a fan of high string tension, so if you like 9s on a 25.5" scale tuned to E standard, you'll probably like these on guitars with the shorter 24.75" scale length for E standard.

A lighter feel makes playing better as it frees you to play and not be concerned with too much string tension.

These are my absolute favorite stings perfect for keeping string tension with lower tunings

I threw a set of these on a Baja Telecaster that I was re-building including a Bigsby vibrato, so I thought a heavier gauge string might just work-out well, but as others have noted, the string tension on these (once tuned to pitch) is rather "stout", and I just couldn't seem to bond with them

The heavy string tension helps me avoid hitting the frets.

Wound G

The wound G can rarely unravel at the dent spot

These strings with the WOUND G work really well on my short scale guitars

and I implore you, if you have been plagued by sour g strings, you must try these

Ever have a bad G that sounds dead, even when you change the strings

I really like the wound third especially on Les Pauls, really helps with the infamous G string de-tune issue a lot of LPs have.

Great strings for that infamous G string falling out of tune

My ESP came with a set of Cleartone 9/42's on it, but the high E was busted

I like a lighter gauge string for bending, but the E and A on the strings I was using were too thin sounding.

One high E string broke while putting it and two strings broke as soon as you do a bend

Low E-string broke before I even put any tension on it with the tuning key...first and last time I buy anything from D’Addario.

Especially the low E's thanks to my prints

The high E string broke in less than a
