I've never owned anything like that, but use them (10s or 11s) successfully on several different acoustic guitars. They are quiet compared to round wound strings, or even the flat wound elixirs, but you don't screech all around the neck at all. Hope that helps. **Q: would these work for an acoustical guitar?** A: It's all about the tone you want. These strings sound "different" from typical acoustic strings, not as bright and not as loud, so I put them on my acoustic guitar to give them a whirl and I instantly thought I should take them off. However, after playing them for a few days I started to "work with them" and I have become a fan of these strings. They are silky smooth and are a joy to play. My fingers feel happy after playing and I have found new sounds that only these strings can produce on my acoustic. These strings have made me play cleaner and more volume-balanced (no notes "stick out" from the others) in a song unless I want them to. I have two acoustic guitars and one of them will always have these strings on! I have become partial to the unique sound these strings deliver. **Q: Why are these strings (d'addario ecg25 chromes) listed as upright bass strings when they are guitar strings?** A: Not sure.
