Review: Higher tones but great felxability. - Guitar used: Yamaha FG830 For what these say they do, they do well. I really love the bend ability of these strings, they produce a bit stringy higher tone. Very similar to putting electric strings on an acoustic. If you were plugged in and use an EQ to deepen it a bit these would be great. Overall good strings at a good price.
