Sparkly accurate strings
Pleasantly surprised by these strings. I replaced a set of Thomastik Jazz strings with these. I really didn't get on with the Thomastiks - really unbalanced, dead things that are just... really odd. Maybe they're great on Jazz Guitars, but on my tele they sucked. Stringjoys are my goto brand, I tried these as a bridge until I can get some more Stringjoys and they are really decent! They're bright and full of life without being harsh on the ear, they feel clean and balanced (no obvious annoying overtones), not quite up to Stringjoy standards, but nothing really is. These are really good strings, really enjoying them, they pair well with a tele, reasonably priced. Definitely worth trying on your instrument. Good purchase! They're only 4 stars in comparison with the very very best (which are about twice the price by the way, so... I would have gone 4.5 if I could have!)

Very nice strings
BKP pickups turned me on the Rotos, as you get a set of 10s with every pickup purchase. I noticed they’re softer and with less tension than D’ads and even EBs. I didn’t expect the pure nickels to feel softer as D’Addario usually reduce the size of the wounds to compensate for the possible extra tension, but I was wrong. These are lovely to play, soft and warm. I put them on a Les Paul and old SG with vintage pickups. Result: a lovely warm resonant tone which are relatively soft under the fingers…very nice strings indeed.
