    Default Straight up strings

    Anyone tried these?

    Curious if you have noticed a difference in the balance between the outside courses and inner courses

    Tristen Scroggins turned me on to them. I have a set on my Hester. I like 'em. Start out kind of bright, but settle in pretty quickly.

    I've tried them and didn't notice the difference on my Weber, but I haven't tried them yet on my a Ratliff.
    My Weber is not a woody sound, so the p/b sound was too jangley.

    Like 'em a lot. Use them for all my new builds where the client has not specified a preferred other brand.

    Tried them. Nothing bad to say, but not impressed.
