Location: Athens, GA & Gnashville | These are apparently somewhat new, at least new to me. They are a couple of bucks higher a set. Are they $2.00 better than the regular Nanos?
I do love the sound of a regular phosphors and this seems like a potentially great product.
TIA |

Location: SoCal | They're pretty bright strings. I'm thinking that they should sound good on the 1627 RI. For the 1537 (a bright guitar naturally), I prefer the Elixir poly's mediums. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Put a set on Ol'Faithful (1111). They pretty much rock. I probably don't change my strings often enough- probably can't hear too good, anyway.
I like their feel, and they are bright, without being "tinny". Seem pretty consistent in tone, over the past 3 months (told ya!!). My saving grace is my hands are not acidic, & stay dry real well.
Probably more than yous'll want to know....... |

Answer. Pay him for the pizza. :D
This also works on banjo players as well. :D :D |

Here's one: What is the most unused phrase in the English language?
A: Is that the banjo player's Porsche?
On topic: The strings are sounding better and better. I know the only way to know is to try them. |

Location: Portland, OR | I just took them off of my 2078.. They were way way too bright.. reminded me of a tin piano. Replaced them with the regular nano's and I'm much happier.. I wonder, is there a differece between the non wound E/B strings on these sets? They look identical... |

Thinner strings are easier to play. Find a happy medium.
[But I only use EJ15's and 16's. But I just wanted to type that.] |
