I've been with these strings for quite some time now, i haven't played around too much, but these were the ones i came to love, don't know if it's the thickness i like, or the brand, i guess that's up for the future to tell. The strings hold up very well, and you can easily clean them a quite few times before throwing them out. They have a really chimey tone, clear and nice. Great if you want a little thicker gauge on your higher strings.
