    Outstanding feel, tone and longevity. Plus, the strings have almost equal tension, which I think is beneficial for tone production on floating bridge instruments. Highly recommended. YMMV.

    I seem to use GHS and D'Addario strings interchangeably the bronze winding and core wires may all come from 3rd parties
    for all I can guess..

    A 270 & 260 only differ in the D & G strings being a bit thinner. Overall 11E & 16A are the same (reading the packet)
