So the day after playing a bunch these feel great and sound great, the martins sounded great but felt a but crusty by comparison

On crappy guitars, sure, it can be nice to hear the string instead of the guitar, but if you have a deep-sounding, solid-wood Martin, Guild or Gibson, that's unnecessary

Have a lovely Martin with unbelievable tone and sustain

There okay strings, they were packaged very poorly, the B and E (1st) were very tangled and my E broke as I was putting it on the guitar

n’t last very long,broke a string after 4 hours

They stay tuned well and have a nice crisp n' brifht sound
