They are gauged as a compromise between the .10s and .11s. For me
they worked out great. The .10s that i normally use are perfectly
bright but a little on the watery side when i have to tune down a half
step. The .11s that i normally use are slightly
lacking in definition compared to the .10s, and, they start hurting my
hands after three full sets in 440 (if/when i forget or don't get a
chance to restring to .10s). I don't know who these are marketed toward. The
bluegrass sets
are light/heavy, which is as far from balanced as you can get. The
10.5 is definitely too light for alot of the hardcore blues players.
Whatever. This gauge set is just a really great compromise for my
tastes in tone and feel for a standard-tuned guitar. These things
have more sustain than the .10s and more definition than the .11s.
This gauge set is so well balanced they just feel great to play.
Chords were just as fun as my cheesy solos with these strings.
Hey D'Addario! I go through ALOT of guitar strings in a year:
could you please offer these strings in some sortof bulk-pricing deal?
Pretty please!
GHS makes a similar set (Boomers GBH10 1/2: 10.5-13.5-17-26-38-48)
that are currently going for around $4. I definitely plan on
trying out a few sets of the GHS in the near future. |
