Re: Free strings!
Yes I found a lot of buzz on the web about these strings after stumbling on this thread.

Re: Free strings!
I just got mine today. I'm interested to see if they're worth changing from the good ol' XL110.

Re: Free strings!
I wish the guitar I put these strings on hadn't had (the one time in the last 6-7 years I wasn't using D'addarios) Ernie Ball strings on it so I could do a more accurate comparison.
That said, I really like these strings so far. They feel smoother under the hand than XL110's. I can't quite tell the difference in tone definitively yet but I feel like they're a smidge warmer. Then again, I'm comparing two different guitars with different bridges, so that may be it.
But as soon as these are available I'm getting a few packs and stringing up my other guitars with them.

Re: Free strings!
I could definitely use em right about now.
But it's super ****ty outside.
I ain't going out there to see if they came today.

Re: Free strings!
The set I got would flat not take a set and stay in tune. The plain strings keep going noticeably flat as I play. I have been a XL-120 user for a few years now and was stoked to try the new design. At first these seemed really punchy and thick sounding but they just will not stay in tune so far.
Anybody else see this with these?

Got my pack of strings in the mail today. I'll try them out eventually.

Re: Free strings!
Did anybody get anything besides a 10-46 set?
Same here. Actually, somehow I got two sets. One had my address on two lines (I live on the 1st floor of a two-family) and the other on one line. I vaguely remember signing up for the strings on a site plainly branded as D'Addario's site as well as signing up on the mystery site in the OP, so maybe that's why.

I just signed up for them. Hope I get some. I didn't even see this posting until now.

Glad others are getting their strings, too. If anyone wants to try these I'll trade mine for any brand of 10's, strings arent something I care much about.
