I bought these strings to allow my recently purchased Les Paul 7 string to be downtuned. I noticed straight out of the packet how nice they felt, and when I fitted them they showed the same characteristics- much kinder on the fingertips than most strings, and the tone they give to the guitar is amazing. I personally only really play metal, but they even lend a dark tone to metal playing, which I wouldn't really have expected from flatwounds. In G standard tuning they give a really ground trembling growl on the lower notes, but keep their clarity in the mid range and higher up for lead parts. These strings were well worth the money, and they've lasted way longer than my other strings due to the metal ribbon used to wind them. Overall they give great versatility and play like a charm. I would definitely recommend them.
