Overall, a solid set of strings.

I wouldn't recommend them for immediate use in stage or studio as they don't sound good at first, but if you want one good set of strings that will last for a while with good tone and even intonation, I think they're a good buy

So this is a nice easy set, they make a custom light set too (11-52) if you really need a break

I have a set of Ernie Ball Aluminum Bronze on my resonator and I love the bluegrass sound that comes out of them

They're pretty good on that guitar, but interestingly, THIS guitar's sound is not as balanced with the NB's as it is with a fresh set of Martin Marquis

2 days in, E string broke

Not only do these strings sound good from the top E string to the bottom E string, I noticed that the sustain is excellent and I'm tuning my guitar's less often.

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