They sound great. Strings always have great tone, bright clarity and solid midrange and works great on just about every style of guitar.
They feel great. Bending strings is comfortable, not noisy and last a long time.
They are consistently great. You can buy these from anywhere around the globe and are very consistent and feel the same year after year. There are some that claim a mountain of new improvements (even Ernie Ball) but at the end of the day, these are some of the best! Had a friend of mine speaking of a new version out there that lasts twice as long only to find out those cost over twice as much; Just buy two packs of these for less and call it day!!
I've tried a lot of strings including most of the new options out there but these are an awesome value, work well, consistent, can find these all over the world, and used by many a well-known guitarist.
also, 9's are a great option for tone even better than 10's in my opinion which I played for decades. Check out some videos online discussing that fact and it might change your mind to 9's. It did mine. Cheers.
Great sound, stable as hell for tuning, the right brightness and ease of bending for how I play. Everybody’s style is different but these strings are it for me.
