Pros & Cons
Pros
Eb strings are wound, spun, threaded differently than the other strings. I normally change my strings every 3 months need it or not, so longevity is never an issue with me.
Strings are a little hard to shred on because of their size, so if your that sort of guitarist, i'd implore you to purchase either the hybrid or the regular. Perfect for thrash metal.
Cons
These are the only strings i have ever taken off my guitar because i absolutely hated them. They might actually be worse than regular slinkys, it's the strangest thing. C shar -snap- and low e goes limp on the fretboard.
