    • I love the feel and the tone
    • So in conclusion, I like using this on my brighter strat, but really to get the best 4-5 hour tone, stick with the nickel wound steel core strings, just realize you are going to have to change strings often.

    • I turned my modded Hot Rod Deluxe up to call-the-cops levels (the neighbors are getting used to it by now), louder than the drummer by a good chunk, and I got: less squealing, warmer tone by far, and full chords, triads and double stops that felt and sounded smoother and grinded with more harmonic warmth than any alloy string I've ever used
