Very playable
I was just curious for the feel of another version of light top/heavy bottom set and gave it a try. Quite a change after Zakk Wilde boomers, ha, ha. YJM are very playable and allowed me different style of playing, light pressure, easy licks. They were keeping their sound for two years of not frequent playing, GHS Fast Fret was sufficient to revive them to life every session.
CONS. 008 string has pulled itself out of the ball end. As I had no replacement at hand, I used crude repair: wound down the string, put on a ball on a low end, made a knot on string with thin pliers (don't pull too tight not to broke the string), then wound up the string again. It needs some force-bending of the string to properly set the knot, yet it will hold then. Cut the string short and cover the sharp end not to get sting with it.

A string set that you can trust with no fear
A light set of strings. Easy to play and usefull for a lot of bends. Always with the brand of fender.I recomend it without hesitation.

Excellent
These strings are very good and comfortable to play with and they last a little longer than most strings I seem to buy, definitely the type of strings for someone who pulls of big bends and loves to shred also really good for drop d due to the thicker bass string.

Like
used it with my strat, feels very nice for the fingers, very durable (despite strat tech issues), despite using tremolo too much. For the sound I didn't find any difference with other fender strings

Love them
Love these strings. I love the very thin first 3 strings for soloing and string control as well as the lower 3 being thicker for making heavy power chords. Malmsteen knows what he's up to!

Excellent very light strings
If you like light strings, you're gonna love these ones. They are not overly bright, they sound big and they bend soooo easily...that's always a nice bonus :) . Also, the price is good too, so I honestly don't see any cons.

Wish they'd sell these in bulk
I've been using these for quite some time now and they've been very reliable for me.
Only thing is I wish they would sell them in bulk, so I wouldn't have to store so many individual packs of strings

Excellent strings!
I really like the idea of hybrid string sets. The low side strings are very tight, sounds amazing when you play riffs. The high strings are easy to play, easy to bend, very handy for fluid virtuoso playing style. I'm satisfied with these string set so far. The only question is the durability. As I have only installed them couple of days ago I have no idea how long they will last. Only the time will tell it.
So far for me the "idol" was the Elixir, if this Fender YJM strings prove that they are as good then I will definitely switch to them.
