    What truly excellent labeling. I'm serious. I love that.

      Have a set but been too busy/lazy to put them on; was very impressed with the Dunlop strings I tried a few months ago so looking forward to trying these...

        You know I did!

        Had to...Rev. Willy G Mexican Lottery...too much, had to!

        My opinion, they're alright...didn't blow me away but they're alright.

        They feel a little funny too, very slinky for their size.

          Hmm..sounds like the regular Dunlops- I tried them when they first came out- definitely have a loosey goosey feel, which according to Dunlop is by design: they wanted low tension for a given set. Reckon it's a good thing if you wanna jump up a string gauge, but those regular Dunlops felt "dead" to me right out of the package, and were dark in tone, too.

          Then again, my string pref has changed markedly in the past 5 years, so I very well may like them?

          I'd like to try them just to have the package, SS! Ad copy kinda reminds me of the old packs of BD's and Gibson strings my dad had in the case for his ES125.

            The packaging rocks. I'd like to try a set to be honest. Been using Slinkys for a while and like them just fine.

              I assume these are very light guage?

                    Have to give the 10's a try, got to order them though can't find them in any stores. Only use 10's on 1 guitar but that's all right.

                        I've been curious, just because Billy uses them. I also noticed that Dunlop strings do have a lower tension. I tried a set of tens, and they felt like nines. I could only imagine how light the sevens would feel!

                          Hmm I may have to try em out.

                          I like the packaging!

                            +1, I play 12s but can live with 11s for a testbed /visitorīs guitar.

                              Oh, I didn't realize the gauges only went up to .10.
