Pros
Super slinky paradigm strings do amazing in standard. The paradigm series is the premier strings available today. They are really good at muting unwanted noise from hand sliding and tapping parts.

Ive been using daddarios for a long time recently started using nyxls as they keep brightness longer and feel slicker on the plain strings

I had to adjust the trem claw in my floyd rose equipped guitar so they apparently have different tension to the nyxls
