Not sure about these
Bought these because of the Brian May endorsement, but I must say that I am somewhat disappointed. The sound is different from regular strings to be sure, and I liked the sound of these when they were new.
But they wore out very quickly, already after some weeks the gold had worn off in places where I play alot, exposing the nickel (?) base. At about the same rate the sound got duller and duller, faster than a nickel string wears I would say, so after a month it was definitely time to change them. Most unpleasantly my fingers started smelling of metal quite strongly after playing the worn out strings, something which I haven't experienced with other strings.
I will not go for these again.

Very good on a Gretsch
Great on a Gretsch, not sure I would want them on any other guitars.

Some of the best strings available.
They don't feel like any other string and seem to have a tension of their own. I have always found them extremely comfortable and very reliable, with a great, bright sound and good calibration - as well lasting longer than most.

A void
Tried on 3 guitars before cutting in half and binning. What a joke. Magneic coils do not like 24 carat gold in my opinion. I was under the illusion that paying top dollar will get top results but I have learned otherwise in this case. Very dry and lifeless sound, no musicality. Makes my top guitars sound like cheap c**p. Nickel rules, gold sucks and also falls of very quickly with ugly results.

Very good strings
I'm very pleased with these strings, pull offs come so easy and overall they're good and very pleasant to play.
One thing tho, my fingers end with a black dust from these strings, I have no idea why. I'm using mostly Fast Fret to clean them. Ernie Ball Slinky don't leave any black dust.

The best strings ever
Since starting to use these strings on my strat, I refuse to use any others!
They last for ages, have never broken on me and keep a crystal clear sound far after others have gone muddy.
Thomann delivered them quickly with no problems - as always!

Amazing strings!!!
These strings are very durable and sound great, warm and punchy when it needed. I installed them on my Gibson Les Paul and to me it's the best strings for this guitar. And gold looks pretty cool on strings too.
