Great midrange for longer scale instruments
After some testing of different strings I arrived at these, the signature strings of my number one hero, mr Eric Johnson. This is Eric's personal choice mainly for Fender guitars and others w. a scale length of 25.5" or so. This is a special gauge of the standard GHS Nickel Rockers string, that is heavier in the bottom: the lower E is a full .050 compared to .046 with the regular set.
I can see why Eric is absolutely nuts about them: they have good midrange without lacking in lows and highs. Now highs can make your distorted tones sound harsh and lows can make your tone sound muddy and flubby and this string cleverly steers away from any of these unwanted traits. And they sound do good through out the entire range under any conditions, really: highs are present but not piercing and lows are extended and tight.

Excellent sound, tougher playbility
I love the sound of these. Better than anything else I have tried. But playability is an issue as it is harder to bend or do vibratos. Extra Tension and thicker bottom 3 strings are the reason for this. Not your regular 10 gauge strings. If you have strong fingers try them 1000%!

Awesome strings!!!
These are my favorite string set at the moment. Pure nickel of these strings translates in a great tone with great attach, sustain, playability and feel! The gauges choice is also very good striking a very good balance between the strings? overall my favorite string gauge selection. Strings are also durable and last long!
