Review: Perfect for a slightly higher tuning on a baritone guitar - As someone who is primarily a keyboardist but also plays guitar, I often find the standard guitar tuning to be limiting and arbitrary, and I'm always looking for ways to extend the range. I bought a baritone guitar and really enjoyed using the lower tunings, yet some of my tunings , such as C# standard don't really work very well on a 27" scale baritone or a 25.5" scale guitar. There was either too much tension on the shorter scale guitar or too little on the longer scale guitar. Intonation issues all around. I had just about given up hope on setting up a guitar with this tuning and just using a capo on a baritone guitar tuned to B standard, but I thought I would give this set a try, and wow, it's perfect. Even tension across all the strings and none of the sitar like buzz that regular medium gauge strings gave me. I use my guitar for alternative rock, dream pop, and post-hardcore, and I love the way these strings feel. If you're not so picky about your strings, maybe you'll get by with one of the easier to find sets, but it's awesome that D'Addario offers these at such a low price. I've been buying their strings for years, yet I'm still impressed at the range of strings they offer and just how well their strings balance. I can't say enough good things about them. So happy to find a set that works for my guitar.
Review: My new go-to for gigging - Excellent strings. Blow Ernie Balls out of the water if you're gigging regularly. I wipe everything down after every time I handle my guitar, and I could only get about 2-3 shows out of the EBs before they were trashed. I got 5-6 out of the D'Addarios. The biggest benefit though is that wound third string...sounds and stays in tune MUCH better than the unwound third on the EBs. Really not trying to put down EB as a company, but for the same gauge strings and playing heavily detuned, sweaty face-melting metal, it's not even a comparison.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent if you play jazz..

I love these strings, thick, loud, bright tones, and excellent on the tuning.. best for clean notes and lush chords.
