I LOVE the Aluminum Bronze. Clarity, sustain, projection almost ridiculous bass when I tune down... and they last like coated strings but are priced like uncoated.

Tone-wise, they seem to be in between PB and 80/20. Maybe a bit jangly for some folks when new, but they settle in nicely.
Hey Uncle, this isn't the first time I've heard favorable results with Ernie Ball AB strings. I had them on my Breedlove and they were okay- certainly didn't fall in love with them. I'm considering trying a set on my RainSong though.
