Funny you bring that up, I was just looking at those, being someone who uses 11s 95% of the time, I was also thinking of giving these a try. What's your analysis, bright, warm, loud, quiet?

Pretty warm sounding and *very* sustaining. Resonant, ringing. Not what I'd call "loud" but normal volume and very full sounding.

Low tension, nice tone but a very slight drop in volume.

Fantastic strings for someone looking for something easier on the fingers.



On my Epiphone IBG Hummingbird - probably not the best strings for this guitar, that .052 6E is just a touch too light.

I tried a set of Medium gauge and loved them. A great alternative for someone who likes the concept of Elixir HD Light but doesn’t like Elixirs. The Mediums (with the exception of the 13 and 17) play like a light set from other manufacturers. Decent projection from the Mediums, easy fretting, balanced and warm sounding.
