I heartily recommend *against* purchasing these strings.

Immediately after putting these on my guitar, I was _unimpressed_.  The tension seems less than others (for example:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Elixir-Light-Nanoweb-80-20-Bronze-Acoustic-Guitar-Strings/dp/B0002E1O2C/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Elixir Light Nanoweb 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/D-Addario-EJ16-3D-Phosphor-Bronze-Acoustic-Guitar-Strings-3-Sets-Light/dp/B000OR2RNM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">D'Addario EJ16-3D Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, 3 Sets, Light</a>), and they rattled as if to agree with what my left hand felt in the tension.  To both hands, the strings felt slightly tacky.  Played fingerstyle, they sound dull, or muted, especially on the low end.  When played with a slide, they sound noisy, as if my left hand muting isn't working all of a sudden.

That was just the first day!  I hoped they would improve, but they did not.  They continued to sound dull, especially played fingerstyle, as if they were really old.  In fact, that's it, in a nutshell: these strings feel and sound as if they'd been strung on a guitar gathering dust and oxidizing for a year; yet they were brand new.

Ultimately, the high E broke, (other reviewers have mentioned strings breaking too).  In the spirit of complete disclosure, I switch tunings a lot (DADGAD, open D & G, standard) and of course this will shorten the life of strings.  But still: these lasted less than 2 weeks.

It's fun to experiment, but these strings were so disappointing that I'm glad a string broke, to entice me to rid the guitar of them sooner!  For now it's back to D'Addarios; they are excellent sounding and value.
