Pros & Cons
Pros
The guitar is a fairly heavy solid body with a double cutaway. The sound is crisp, clear, and resonates beautifully across all registers.

Price is little high but might be worth a try.

Packaging/appearance

These strings aren’t bad, they were packaged in an air tight package so it is possible to stock up on these without worrying ab... Read More
Competitiveness
They really do last a really long time in comparison to same price tag competition!
Previously, i've been very fond of the nyxl series of the strings from this very same company, but these strings are multiple t... Read More
I'm not sure he will go back to any other brand at this point.
