I found the string tension too low. I couldn't get more than three strings to where I wanted it so ended up selling mine. They look great and the stock pickup sounds good too. Sweet that it works better for you & congrats on the win!

Thanks urobouros, I don't know what Fender was thinking shipping these with Fender NPS .009", .011", .016", .024w" strings, too light for Chicago tuning IMHO. In my opinion DGBE should be heavier around: 11-14-18-28w or something close.
I tune in fifths so the stock strings had to go.
Thanks again.
