I have played guitar for 22 years and had never wanted to venture into the Baritone waters for many reasons. But on a whim I bought E.B.'s 2839 strings to hear what they can bring to the table. The strings are VERY VERY heavy. IM not talking about sound (that as well), but very thick! They hurt my fingers after about a half hour of play (and I have deep callouses on all five fingers of my left hand). Of course, they sounded excellent, but because they are so large....well....they don't really fit a regular guitar. I own 13 (Anerican custon Strat,American Telecaster,Les Paul Custome,Gibson Flying V, Jackson Rhodes V,etc..etc)and the only one I was able to use these strings on was my Les Paul. And they didn't fit into the neck bone correctly, they sat on top of the bone. I got a real deep wicked sound from them but didn't want to damage my L.P. '77 Silver Sunburst. So, I took them off. Good product! You just have to be careful what guitar you put them on.
