Being the owner of al lot of guitars (around 22, I use them on stage and in my studio) I have to change strings very often and well, that some serious money, so I was looking for a affordable alternative that I can use from time to time and especially on the guitars I don't use as much as some others. These strings are ok, they last longer than I expected and though the "feel" is different from the strings I normally use (D'Addario 10-52 EXL-140) I'm not unhappy with them.
