Mr. Blonde's review:
In my ten years of playing, these are by far the best strings that I have come across. For regular strings, they seem to stay bright the longest (even when I some how left a set on one of my guitars for over 2 years...). I use these (13-56) on my guitar that I use for various lower tunings (but usually just keep it down a single step). Tight, responsive, and long lasting. I wish I could say the same for my picks after they're sawed through playing with these. I use various gauges on all my guitars. I was a Fender Bullets guy years ago, but I have since seen the light.
